Images captured from time lapse (T=time in minutes) using Interference Reflection Microscopy. Dark areas represent cell footprints, and identify cell substrate attachment. Lighter areas represent less adhered sections of the cell. Filopodia (arrows) serve as the cells directors to guide spreading by sensing the nearby environment. |
