Description

3D rendered flourescent animation of a very early mouse embryo at around 5.5 days post fertilisation. The embryo has been labelled with two flourescent markers, one highlights the cell nuclei (Dapi) and shows the cells (grey) the other highlights the gap juntions (ZO-1) and highlights the region between the cells and shows the orientaion and movement of these cells (purple). The whole embryo was imaged to get a stack of images that were then 3D rendered to get a surface view and an animation was created to show the 3D rendered image along side the original cut through confocal sections.
