Here are some of the immunofluorescent pictures I took over the summer. I used an inverted microscope and oil immersion to take these. I spent two weeks taking over 300 pictures of cells with Spot Advanced softwareand then another 3 weeks analyzing them through Photoshop. On top of that, each colored picture is actually composed of three separate images, in red, blue, and green that are laid upon each other. In the image, red is the membrane of the macrophage cell, blue is the nucleus, and the green spots are bacteria that have been engulfed by the macrophage. This blue image to the left is just one of the pictures that makes up the full colored one.
