Our featured image, acquired by Shivangi Verma, gives us a peek into the brain of a zebrafish. It depicts neurons in the whole brain of a larva expressing GCaMP6f, a fluorescent reporter of neuronal activity, using a pan-neuronal promoter. A 10-day old transparent homozygous albino larva was embedded in agarose and imaged using ZEISS Lightsheet

Featured image with Upasana Gupta

Posted by , on 2 August 2024

Our featured image, acquired by Upasana Gupta, represents the cellular architecture of zebrafish (larva) eye. The tissue was prepared by paraformaldehyde fixation of a 4-day post fertilisation larva, followed by staining with Hoechst nuclear stain. The sample was imaged and processed using Leica SP8 confocal microscope and Leica software at the Bio-imaging facility at the

Featured image with Theresa Wiesner

Posted by , on 21 June 2024

Our featured image, acquired by Theresa Wiesner, shows a neuron in dissociated hippocampal culture and was imaged using highly inclined thin illumination microscopy (HiLO). The neuron is transfected with a neurotransmitter (glutamate) sensor and shown in orange. The image was acquired using Nikon Elements software / microscope and post-processing was done using FIJI (ImageJ). Find
