| Endoplasmic reticulum || A symmetrical structure found throughout the cell (excluded from the blue marker). It is a mesh like network that looks somewhat like a spider's web. || | | Endoplasmic reticulum || A symmetrical structure found throughout the cell (excluded from the blue marker).

| The Golgi apparatus || The Golgi apparatus is located next to the nucleus, sometimes lying around or above it. It often looks like a collection of small, dense particles that may be donut shaped. || | | The Golgi apparatus || The Golgi apparatus is located next to the nucleus, sometimes lying around or above it.

| Vesicles || Small, bright dots that are uniform in size and shape. They are either evenly distributed throughout the cell, or clustering next to the nucleus (blue marker) but never in the nucleus. || | | Vesicles || Small, bright dots that are uniform in size and shape.

| Plasma membrane || It may appear as a uniform and very flat staining across the entire cell, and can usually be seen clearly outside the red marker. Sometimes only appears as a rim around the cell, and sometimes protrusions are extending from it. || | | Plasma membrane || It may appear as a uniform and very flat staining across the entire cell, and can usually be seen clearly outside the red marker.
