The presented protocol describes the development and use of a phalloidin-based filamentous-actin staining technique with confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to visualize adherent cell layer structure in microfluidic dynamic-culture channels and traditional fixed-well static-culture chambers. This approach aids in evaluating cell layer confluency, monolayer formation, and layer-thickness uniformity.
