DSLM time-lapse recording
Maximum-intensity projection of the development over 8 h of a zebrafish embryo (Tg(β-actin:HRAS-EGFP)) expressing GFP acquired with the OpenSpinMicroscopy plug-in. (MOV 4808 kb)
Multiple view fusion
Volume reconstruction obtained after the fusion of eight different views of a transgenic mouse embryo (FVB/N.Tie II-GFP) expressing GFP. (MOV 1498 kb)
OPT reconstruction of E14.5 mouse embryo
Series of sagittal sections of an E14.5 mouse embryo obtained after back-projection reconstruction of an OPT dataset into axial sections. The OPT dataset represents green autofluorescence and was acquired using the dedicated OPT setup with a 1× magnification lens. (MOV 1264 kb)
