Sections were analyzed with bright-field and differential interference contrast (DIC) optics under BX61 Microscope equipped with UPlanApo 10×, 20×, and 60× objectives. Images were acquired through DP73 CCD Color Camera and CellSens Software (all from Olympus). Confocal images were acquired using a Leica TCS SP5 laser-scanning microscope with Plan Apochromat 10×/0.40 numerical aperture (NA) and 63×/1.3 NA glycerol objectives. The acquisition software was Leica LAS AF. ImageJ was used for the creation of z-projections.
