Plot of fluorescent phalloidin signal per myonucleus against estimates of fibre volume per myonucleus from stacked confocal images visualized in segments of muscle fibres isolated from mdx and WT muscles at ages of 2, 6 and 28 weeks. The strong linear relationship between the two parameters across the age range and the two mouse strains validates the use of phalloidin fluorescence as a reliable index of fibre volume within these limits.
