Accidentally made this abomination in ImageJ this evening. I ran a max projection instead of a sum projection on a bunch of heat maps. It's not useful... but I can't stop staring at it.

Captured this clip when I was still working on the protein CYRI-A for my PhD and it remains one of my most favorites. It was my first time seeing lysosomes (🔴) fusing on and acidifying a macropinosome (⚪). I learned about this at uni but seeing it in action is something else! #FluorescenceFriday

In the classical view of mitotic cell division, the spindle apparatus maintains principal control of chromosome capture and alignment. Any breakdown in spindle function can result in chromosome mis-segregation, producing daughter cells with abnormal chromosome number.
