Whole tissue staining of A. thaliana epidermal strips. Whole tissue staining of A. thaliana epidermal strips, using FM4-64 and BD-SM; (A) FM4-64 stain; according to the white light image (B) some of the fluorescent structures imaged were of the plasma membrane (arrows); (C) BD-SM stain; compared to the white light image (D) a successful plasma membrane staining was achieved (arrows). Nevertheless, strong background fluorescence signals did not allow for proper imaging using epidermal strips.
