Optical section through a zebrafish heart, with green-fluorescent heart muscle cells outlining the heart's ventricle and atrium, plus a brightfield contrast overlay that shows the overall structure of the heart and the red blood cells trapped in it during heart beat. Zebrafish are a powerful model to observe early hear development and how it can go wrong during congenital heart disease.
Canvas print of a green-fluorescent zebrafish embryo that shows labeled cell types of the lateral plate mesoderm at the trunk/tail interface, including blood vessels, fibroblasts in the pre-anal fin fold, macrophages, kidney progenitors, and more. The green fluorescence of the canvas print is matched by a branch of a variegated pothos plant; its leaves with dark and light green patterns seemingly merges with the fluorescent green cells of the canvas print in the background.
