| Cilia generated flow is shown with the addition of fluorescent 0.20um microspheres to a tracheal preparation, similar to that seen on the previous page, and visualized under epifluorescent illumination. The movie was collected at 15 fps using a high-speed CCD camera (Hamamatsu, C9100-12) connected to a Leica DMIRE2 inverted microscope with 100x oil immersion objective. Movie taken from Francis et al. The initiation and maturation of cilia generated flow in the newborn and postnatal mouse airway: American Journal of Physiology - Lung Cellular & Molecular Physiology: (April 3, 2009). In Press (PDF)
