Our first try: 3D Reconstraction of Drosophila Embryo.



Branching organs
Mouse embryonic kidneys at E11.5, E12 and E12.5 were imaged with Zeiss Lightsheet Z.1. Light sheet microscopy provides a cellular resolution at the organ scale. Images are coming soon.

Live samples
Colonies of Membranipora membranacea were shipped twice from Bergen, Norway. In both cases colonies arrived dead or mostly-dead. However, I managed to scrape better-looking embryos from inside the zooids. Some embryos got activated and started cleaving. I tried to image them in the Scanned Lightsheet SPIM (Meyers SPIM) since it has temperature control in the chamber and is adapted to small samples. Embryos were stained with a membrane marker (FM 4-64). Unfortunately, we only manage to acquire a small time-lapse from an embryo that was not healthy:
