Confocal microscope image of a whole mount preparation of a mouse cochlea showing the cochlear hair cells. The inner hair cells (bottom) are responsible for the mechano-transduction of sound into an electrical signal and are stained in magenta (Vglut3), while the three rows of outer hair cells are labeled in red (phalloidin). Note that some of the outer hair cells in the outermost row (top) are missing.
