Pronuclear accumulation of mitochondria in rhesus zygotes. In vivo matured, in vitro fertilized rhesus monkey pronucleate embryos labeled with Mitotracker and imaged with MPLSM at 12 to 16 h PI showing the accumulation of mitochondria between the pronuclei (pn). These images illustrate that although there were differences in the exact appearance of the mitochondrial labeling, due to variability in either embryos, staining, or imaging, the pronuclear accumulation was still observed. Apparent differences in size are due to differences in the level of optical section presented. Each embryo was from a different female. Scale bar = 50 µm.
