Supplemental Images referenced in Cross et al. 1995.

  1. The first group (54Kb) show three dimensional pictures of the calcium levels in various Z-planes of quail fibroblasts transfected with foetal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. The surface of the cell is shown as a pink wire mesh, and the calcium levels in each plane are colour coded blue (100nM) to red (1000nM), red being highest. Click on the first image to see the sequence in detail

  2. The second group (59Kb) show the calcium levels in the lowest Z-plane from the above cells over time. The calcium levels are colour coded from blue to red, and rendered as height contours, the higher the peak, the higher the calcium levels. The first image is a control, subsequent images show the response to the application of suberyldicholine and finally recovery.
