Fluorescent immunostaining of tropoelastin (green) and counterstaining of the nuclei by DAPI (blue) in human dermal fibroblasts cultivated 8 days after confluence. Confluence determines the moment when the cells touch. Tropoelastin, which confers elasticity to mature elastic fibres, is secreted by the cells and deposited in a fibrillar network in the extracellular space. This observation was performed by fluorescence optical microscopy. The scale bar corresponds to 100 µm.
