3D imaging analysis of cranial neurons and vasculature in Tg(elavl3: DsRed/Fli1a:EGFP) zebrafish embryo at 3.2 dpf. (A) Dorsal view of whole head and anterior trunk. (a–c) 3D reconstruction: fli1a:EGFP-positive tissues are green and elavl3:DsRed-positive neurons are red. Data set is 503 μm thick. Scale bar 200 μm. (d–f) Lateral images of the same embryo: 591 μm thickness. (g) 3D reconstruction of raw data: 503 μm thickness. (h) 3D segmentation of selected sections: 277 μm thickness, internal structures are labelled. Scale bars 150 μm. 3D movies showing the entire reconstructed head are presented in Supplementary Figs. S3A (raw data) and S3B (segmented images). (B) Optical sections of Tg(elavl3:DsRed/fli1a:EGFP) zebrafish at 3.2 dpf (a–t). Optical sections were combined to create 21 μm compressed sections highlighting fli1a:EGFP-positive tissues (green; a′–t′) and elavl3:DsRed-positive neurons (red; a″–t″).
