Description
This differential interference contrast image
shows a section through the eye of a three-day old
zebrafish embryo. At this stage of development,
the nerve cells in the retina have begun to
separate into different layers. The outer layer of
cells are stained black with a marker for
photoreceptor cells, the neurons that respond to
light. (credit: R. MacDonald & S. Wilson) Biomedical Image Awards 1998.
