This figure shows plastin (green) and non-muscle myosin II (red) in the cortex of a newly fertilised C. eleganszygote during polarization (top panel) and cytokinesis (bottom panel) using spinning disk confocal microscopy. Co-localization between green and red signals signifies localized cortical contractility.
