Zebra fish embryo, SEM C013 / 9586
Zebra fish embryo. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the embryo of a zebrafish (Danio rerio), showing its eyes either side of its large open mouth (centre). Zebrafish are freshwater fish that are found in India. They are a model organism often used to study embryonic development and are currently being used for studies into the genetic causes of neurodegeneration. Their eggs are transparent and develop rapidly, which allows observation of the differentiation of the cells into different body organs. As vertebrates, they are more appropriate models for some genetics research than fruit flies and nematode worms. Magnification: x150 when printed 10 centimetres wide

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a zebrafish embryo, providing a glimpse into the wonders of embryonic development. The colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) captures the essence of this freshwater fish species, known as Danio rerio, originating from India. The image reveals the delicate features of the zebrafish embryo with its eyes positioned on either side of its large open mouth at the center. Zebrafish have become widely recognized as model organisms for studying embryonic development due to their transparent eggs and rapid growth rate. These characteristics enable scientists to closely observe cell differentiation and organ formation within their bodies. In recent years, researchers have turned to zebrafish in their investigations into genetic causes behind neurodegeneration. Their vertebrate nature makes them more suitable models for certain genetics studies compared to fruit flies or nematode worms. This particular photograph magnified at x150 when printed 10 centimeters wide offers an up-close look at various aspects such as head anatomy, eye structure, and single fry detail. With its blend of biology, zoology, neurology, and developmental biology elements intertwined in one frame, this SEM image serves as a valuable resource for scientific exploration. It represents not only a visual masterpiece but also contributes significantly to our understanding of animal physiology and genetic research possibilities.
