Analysis of retrograde flow in lamella region of migrating fish keratocyte (Adachi et al.
2009
). (
a
) FSM image of fish keratocyte microinjected with quantum dots and imaged. (
b
) Filtered
image of the cell in (
a
). (
c
) Kymograph constructed using stripes taken from the region marked by
a
line
in (
b
). (
d
) Trajectories of two separate fluorescent speckles undergoing displacement due to
retrograde flow. The separation distance between the trajectories in
x
direction becomes shorter
toward the back of lamellipodia.
