Confocal microscopy of E12.5 WT (Supplemental 3) and talin1/2 null (Supplemental 4) kidneys stained with E-cadherin antibodies was performed. Images of kidneys in the same orientation were captured as Z-stacks and the raw confocal images were processed using ImageJ carrying the ND2 plugin to create the 3D re-constructed image file and movie.
