Zebra fish embryo, SEM C013 / 9587
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, captured through a colored scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals the mesmerizing details of this young aquatic creature's anatomy, with its eyes positioned on either side of its large open mouth at the center. Zebrafish, native to India and commonly found in freshwater environments, serve as invaluable model organisms for studying embryonic development. Renowned for their transparent eggs and rapid growth, zebrafish offer researchers an unparalleled opportunity to observe cell differentiation into various body organs. As vertebrates, they prove more suitable models for certain genetic studies compared to fruit flies or nematode worms. This particular specimen is currently being utilized in groundbreaking research investigating the genetic causes behind neurodegeneration. The photograph's magnification level allows viewers to appreciate the delicate features of this tiny fish embryo at 150 times its actual size when printed at 10 centimeters wide. With every detail meticulously preserved by David McCarthy from Science Photo Library, this image serves as a testament to both the wonders of nature and mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge in fields such as developmental biology, genetics, and neurology.
