Fig. 4 in Immunocytochemical Analysis of α-Tubulin Distribution Before and After Rapid Axopodial Contraction in the Centrohelid Raphidocystis contractilis

Fig. 4. (A–D) Evaluation of the maintenance of the original lengths of axopodia in R. contractilis using different combinations of fixative and buffer. Cells were fixed with (A) 4% paraformaldehyde in phosphate buffer, (B) 4% paraformaldehyde in PHEM, (C) 0.2% glutaraldehyde in phosphate buffer, or (D) 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PHEM. Note that only fixation with 0.2% glutaraldehyde in PHEM maintained the axopodial length. Scale bar: 20 µm.
