Immunofluorescence under epi-fluorescent microscopy. Description: 4″, 6-diamidino-2-phenoylindole (DAPI) and Uroplakin-III (UP3) stain for DNA and terminally differentiated urothelial surface membrane glycoprotein respectively. Each channel for DAPI (1) and UP3 (2) shown separately in monochrome, then merged as a composite (3) showing the expression of DAPI in green and UP3 in magenta. All images viewed at ×100 magnification with the white scale bar sized at 10 μm. a) CSU specimen of UP3+ bladder epithelial cells. b) MSU specimen of UP3- vulvo-vaginal epithelial cell with associated inclusion bodies. c) Single UP3+ clue cell with associated bacteria. d) Two overlapping UP3+ clue cells with associated bacteria
