Intracellular Calcium Waves in Retinal Glial Cells
Time-lapse fluorometric imaging of an intracellular Ca2+ wave evoked in an isolated salamander Muller cell by extracellular ATP.
- Upper 3 waveforms are pixel intensities for Fura flouresence indicating Ca2+ concentration in 3 regions of the cell
- Red = distal (far left portion of the imaged cell)
- Green = soma (central region of imaged cell)
- Blue = endfoot (upper and rightmost portion of the imaged cell)
- Cyan trace shows simultaneous whole-cell patch recording of an inward cation current evoked by the ATP application.
- The 1 micromolar ATP stimulus is denoted by the black bar
- To view the movie:
- On Macintosh or Windows platforms, you will need to have a Quicktime plugin installed in your web browser.
If you need the plugin, you can get it here.
- On the SGI platform you will need the movieplayer plugin
- We have not determined if the movie is viewable from the Solaris or Linux platforms.
