Birefringent fine structure in the living growth cone

Birefringent fine structure in the living growth cone of an Aplysia bag cell neuron.This retardance magnitude image, recorded with the New Pol-Scope, shows the peripheral lamellar domain containing radially aligned birefringent fibers that end in filopodia at the leading edge of the growth cone.

From: Katoh, K., K. Hammar, P. J. S. Smith and R. Oldenbourg. 1999.

Birefringence imaging directly reveals architectural dynamics of filamentous actin in living growth cones. Mol. Biol. Cell 10: 197-210.
