An Approach to Visualize the Deformation of the Intermediate Filament Cytoskeleton in Response to Locally Applied Forces

<table>Images of focal adhesions (vinculin) and vimentin. Elongated (a) and flat (b) NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts stained for vinculin and transfected with GFP-vimentin. RGB merged images show vinculin in red, vimentin in green, and DNA in blue. Scale bar = 10 <i>μ</i>m (a), 20 <i>μ</i>m (b).</table>
