Human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells were treated with hydro-xychloroquine, showing enlarged lysosomes (SiR-lysosome, magenta), altered microtubules (SPY555-tubulin, green), and a few lipid droplets (BODIPY 493 / 503, red). Nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). This highlights lysosomal stress and cytoskeletal changes. Cells were cultured in a μ-Slide 8 Well Glass Bottom and imaged with a Zeiss LSM 980 Airyscan confocal microscope using a 63x objective.
