From: Highly variable effect of sonication to dislodge biofilm-embedded Staphylococcus epidermidis directly quantified by epifluorescence microscopy: an in vitro model study

Fig. 5

Epifluorescence image of a plate after sonication (a). A marked section (stippled line) of the epifluorescence image is visualized with confocal laser scanning microscopy where multiple z-stacks are rendered as a 3D-image (b). A section of this image is further magnified and rendered as a 3D-image with a different viewing angle (c). Coccoid bacteria are evident as green (live) and red (dead) cells
