Scanning electron microscopy image illustrates tiny extracellular links between stereocilia of an inner ear hair cell. One type of link, the tip link, rests the top of the shorter stereocilia to the side of a longer stereocilia and is crucial for hearing. The yellow dots in the inset are the immuno-OR particles that label specific proteins comprising the spike binding.
