You can pretty much insert GFP into anything.  This is the outside of a leaf with GFP tagged to an aquaporin that localizes to the plasma membrane.  The cells are known as pavement cells, but look like puzzle pieces.  When I first saw this image, I admit my first thought was that it kind of looked like a brain, though clearly there are many differences in appearance between this and a brain- I just see brains everywhere.  There are so many amazing images with GFP- I strongly encourage you to google them and check it all out if you want to see some beautiful scientific images.  For basic info about GFP, see here.
