Zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio)

Zebrafish embryo (Danio rerio)

Z-projection multichannel confocal image of a 4-day post-fertilization zebrafish embryo. The developing, cartilaginous cranial skeleton is visualized with Collagen-IIa immunostaining (white). NeuroD:GFP transgenic expression is represented by a pseudocolored heat map (magenta-violet-orange). Nuclei in all tissues are counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Cranial Ganglia, phox2b

Cranial Ganglia, phox2b

Extended focus light-level image of the region around the otic vesicle in a 2-day post-fertilization zebrafish embryo. The developing cranial ganglia are visualized via NBT-BCIP in situ hybridization for the phox2b transcript (purple). Image modified from Figure 2, Culbertson, et al., 2011 (PLoS ONE).

3D Reconstruction, Cranial Ganglia

3D Reconstruction, Cranial Ganglia

3D reconstruction from a high-resolution confocal z-stack of the cranial ganglia in a 4-day post-fertilization zebrafish embryo immunostained for the neural marker Elavl 3/4 (or Hu C/D).

Axon Outgrowth

Axon Outgrowth

Detail from time lapse image showing the outgrowth of collateral axons over ~17 hours. Images obtained over 15 minute intervals.

Tissue Section In-Situ, foxd3

Tissue Section In-Situ, foxd3

Transverse 20-micron frozen section of an 18-hour post-fertilization zebrafish embryo showing neural crest derived glial precursor cells via NBT/BCIP in-situ hybridization for foxd3 (purple). Image modified from Figure 1, Culbertson, et al., 2011, PLoS ONE).
