Epifluorescence images of Cells

Caption

Epifluorescence images of cells following delivery of a fluorescent dye, propidium iodide, following electroporation treatment at varying pulse strengths and duration. Propidium iodide is impermeant to the cell until the membrane is permeabilized via electroporation. The propidium iodide is then transported into the cell cytoplasm and fluoresces upon binding cytoplasmic nucleic acids.
