Colonies of human embryonic stem cells

Colonies of human embryonic stem cells as seen with a fluorescent microscope. Nuclei have been stained blue, while regions that appear pink and green have been stained with antibodies, indicating the cells' pluripotency -- that unique ability of stem cells to differentiate into a variety of cell types.

 

The image was taken in the lab of Prue Talbot at the University of California, Riverside.
