Day 173 of #LMB365 is a light microscopy image from Wanda Kukulski in Cell Biology of yeast cells producing a fluorescent version of a protein that assembles into patches on the cell membrane. Each patch contains hundreds of copies of the protein. Together, they induce a local deformation of the membrane, which however is too small to be resolved by light microscopy.
