A Review of Reagents for Fluorescence Microscopy of Cellular Compartments and Structures, Part III: Reagents for Actin, Tubulin, Cellular Membranes, and Whole Cell and Cytoplasm.

Non-antibody commercial fluorescent reagents for imaging of cytoskeletal structures have been limited primarily to labeling tubulin and actin, with the key factor in choice based mainly on whether cells are live or fixed and permeabilized. A wider range of options exists for cell membrane dyes, and the choice of reagent primarily depends on the preferred localization in the cell (i.e.
