Today's #microscopymonday from MDI Bio Lab is a view of the #microvasculature in a young African turquoise killifish heart.
📸 2025 Dr. Anastasia Paulmann and Hannah Somers, MDIBL Light Microscopy Facility
This amazing #microscopymonday capture of a young African turquoise killifish's brain blood vessels by the MDI Bio Lab's Haller lab was imaged using the MesoSPIM in the MDIBL Light Microscopy Facility.

A #fluorescencefriday image of an adult #zebrafish kidney by the Drummond Lab's Caramai Kamei, Ph.D.
We are looking at the aorta that runs through the kidney. Blood vessels connect to glomeruli, which hang like fruits on a tree.

One of the people I'm indebted the most for creating stunningly beautiful #mesoSPIM samples was Martina Schaettin - who tragically passed away in March this year. To honor her memory, Elkhan Yusifov created an award - submit your best #microscopy images & videos! www.linkedin.com/company/mart...

Hi Dr. Lachie,
I use the AI voice over due to my strong accent. I agree, it doesn't always sound the best. But your data analysis is great.
Do you see chromatic aberration in your images? www.youtube.com/shorts/9lyix...
