Several techniques are used in histology to study microfilaments, including:
Immunofluorescence: This technique uses antibodies specific to actin to visualize microfilaments under a fluorescence microscope. Electron Microscopy: Provides detailed images of microfilament structure and organization. Live Cell Imaging: Allows observation of microfilament dynamics in real-time using fluorescently tagged actin. Biochemical Assays: Used to study actin polymerization dynamics and interactions with ABPs.
