Figure 1. Multicolor Labeling of Superficial Epithelial Cells (SECs) in skinbow Zebrafish.

Figure 1

(A) Schematic drawing of human and zebrafish skin. Zebrafish skin is a simple stratified epithelium without keratinized layers, with a surface covered by transparent mucus. EC, epithelial cell.

(B) Brightfield view of an adult skinbow animal. Green boxes indicate areas where the z-stacked confocal images shown in (C)(D) were captured. Scale bars, 2 mm.

(C) Multicolor labeling of skin epithelium in adult skinbow animals from areas shown in (B). Scale bars, 100μm.

(D and E) Multicolor labeling of corneal and scale epithelium in skinbow. A dissected scale is shown in (E). SECs cover the exposed portion of the scale (top). Scale bars, 100μm. See also Figure S1 and Movie S1.
