- This #MicroscopyMonday is a case of spontaneous axis duplication of a two days post fertilization #zebrafish embryo. Two heads and bodies share the same heart and intricate neuronal connections (orange). Image authors: Julia Peloggia de Castro (Piotrowski Lab) #discovery
- This week's #MicroscopyMonday is a stunning image of the developing nervous system, shown in green, in a mouse embryo. Image author: Stephen Shannon, Trainor Lab
- Science doesn’t stop for the holidays: the fly-flipping robot is busy today, transferring fruit flies to vials with fresh food. #Drosophila
00:00 - This week's #MicroscopyMonday is a beautiful adult fruit fly brain imaged on a confocal microscope. The yellow are neurons that are part of a circuit that regulates feeding behavior. Image authors: Consuelo Perez Sanchez and Jeffrey Lange, Si Lab
