Image of the ~50,000 cell nuclei of a 22-hour-old zebrafish embryo. The fluorescently labeled cell nuclei are shown in a blue-to-red color code that indicates depth in the image.
By following the color-coded cells of a Drosophila embryo (top) over time, each cell’s lineage becomes trackable (bottom) with simultaneous multiview light sheet microscopy. Image of the ~6,000 cell nuclei of a 3-hour-old fruit fly embryo. The fluorescently labeled cell nuclei are shown in a blue-to-red color code that indicates depth in the image.
Dorsal and ventral views of a 3-hour-old fruit fly embryo. The embryo’s ~6,000 fluorescently labeled cell nuclei are shown in a blue-to-red color code that indicates depth in the image.A SiMView microscope uses lasers to illuminate specimens while two cameras to the left and to the right of the central imaging chamber capture shots of the specimen’s cells from different angles.
