Cell and Matrix Alignment in Culture: Color-coded orientation maps of cultured muscle cells, actin filaments, and extra-cellular matrix (fibronectin). The colors correspond to local orientations according to the angular color wheel (right). The matching color maps demonstrate how cellular self-organization closely aligns with the internal actin machinery and remodeled extra-cellular matrix (fibronectin).
