Representative images of wild-type (vim +/+) and vimentin-null (vim -/-) mouse embryonic fibroblasts (mEF) on glass slides. Wild-type and vimentin-null mEFs show similar distributions of F-actin stress fibers and paxillin focal adhesions. Confocal images show vimentin (yellow), actin (blue), paxillin (green) and the nucleus (pink). Scale bar, 10 μm.
