VideoZ Stack image of HeLa cells labeled with CellLights reagents 
A series of images were captured on the EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System. Creating a Z-stack from these images allowed the observation of cellular cytoskeletal changes, which can be indicative of the loss of cell health. Methods HeLa cells grown in MatTek 6-well glass bottom culture plates were transduced with CellLights Tubulin-GFP and CellLight Mitochondria-RFP overnight at 37oC. The following day, NucBlue Live reagent (2 drops/mL) was added to the cultures. Cells were then imaged on an EVOS FL Auto Cell Imaging System with 100x oil immersion objective using the Z-stack function. The step size was set using the Nyquist formula and performed at 0.366 μm.
