Maximum projection, which has been colour coded for depth in ZEN software.

The injection site is visible as a kind of ring shape on the right-hand side of the image. Colour coding for depth allows visualisation of the extent of cell migration at different depths through the gel by looking at a single 2D image, rather than having to create a movie.
