Fluorescent microscopic images of neutrophils obtained using an integrated digital camera. (a): DAPI staining of neutrophils (40x oil immersion). (b): DAPI staining of neutrophils, FITC stained H37Rv colocalizing with the lysotracker-labeled acidified compartment (100x oil immersion). Label 1 represents green fluorescent-labeled H37Rv in nonacidified phagosomal compartment. Label 2 represents colocalization of green fluorescent-labeled H37Rv with lysotracker, indicating acidification of H37Rv-containing phagosome.
