Title: Visualizing Vision
Description: Array of retina cells surrounding the lens during eye development. Developing Zebrafish embryo, 24 hours post fertilization.
Stain:
Blue - DAPI, nuclear stain
White - Phalliodin 488, F-actin stain
Blue - alpha Tubulin primary antibody stain
Image taken at embryonic developmental stage relevant to retina and lens development in zebrafish (Danio rerio) at 24 hours post fertilization. Structures of the forebrain can also be seen from this image. This is a control (normal) embryo, and would typically accompany a treated or mutant embryo. For my PhD work I study Nance-Horan syndrome (NHS) and look at the importance of NHS protein in retina and lens development

ZEISS spinning disc laser confocal microscope equiped with a Evolve camera. Zen base imaging software. 63x magnification, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized by proteinase k treatment.
