Deposited data

Example raw .czi images for mouse embryo dataset at E7.5/ EHF, captured in two frontal-lateral oblique views (100° offset). Channel 1 acquired with 488 nm laser and GFP emission filter, representing Smarcd3-F6-nGFP. Channel 2 acquired with 561 nm laser and RFP emission filter, representing Mesp1-Cre lineage through RCL-H2B-mCherry reporter This paper https://datadryad.org/stash/dataset/doi:10.5061/dryad.nk98sf823
