Figure 6. A 3D reconstruction of a whole zebrafish testis cleared with CUBIC.

Figure 6

A testis was dissected from the zebrafish transgenic line Tg(gsdf:GFP) and cleared with the CUBIC protocol. All nuclei are in magenta (propidum iodide). The somatic Sertoli cells are in green (endogenous GFP fluorescence). (a) 3D rendering of the whole CUBIC-cleared testis. (b) 2D optical sections of the testis at 350 μm in depth. (c) Magnified view of 2D optical sections at 0 μm, 400 μm and 700 μm in depth. Images were acquired in 8 bits at a scanning speed of 600 Hz and at a resolution of 512 × 512 pixels with two lines average. Scale bars: 500 μm (b) and 50 μm (c).
