Cross-sectional image from a confocal microscope: breast cancer cells with high metastatic potential push into a polyacrylamide gel with a stiffness of 2.4 kPa, where this section is at a depth of 10.6 microns below the surface of the gel. In the picture you can see the cell nuclei (red), the actin element in the intracellular skeleton (green) and the connections of the cells to the surface at connection centers (blue).
