Zebrafish tail fin vasculature and ease of adult angiography. (a) Schematic diagram showing the location of the adult zebrafish heart for intracardiac injection and adult angiography. A fluorescent agent microinjected through the heart circulates throughout the fish and is visible in all the fins within minutes. (b,c) Enlarged views of the same tail fin region. (b) Pigment and bony structures of the fin ray in bright field. (c) Blood vessels after fluorescent angiography. (d) Magnified region in c of connecting blood vessels of the fin microvasculature. Scale bars, 1 cm (a); 500 μm (b,c); 100 μm (d).
