Area of Science:

  • Biomedical research
  • Cell biology
  • Developmental biology

Background:

  • In vivo bio-imaging of cellular functions and developmental processes is challenging due to tissue opacity, sample movement, and physiological condition maintenance.
  • Achieving single-cell resolution in complex biological systems requires advanced imaging techniques and suitable model organisms.
  • Zebrafish are widely used in biomedical research due to their optical transparency, facilitating advanced microscopic analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent non-invasive microscopy techniques for investigating zebrafish embryo and larvae.
  • To highlight the advantages of specific advanced imaging methods in overcoming bio-imaging challenges.
  • To underscore the utility of zebrafish as a model organism for developmental studies using advanced microscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Discussion of Multi-Photon microscopy for deep tissue imaging.
  • Overview of Light-Sheet Microscopy for rapid, gentle imaging of large samples.
  • Explanation of Second Harmonic Generation imaging for visualizing specific biological structures.

Main Results:

  • These microscopy techniques enable detailed, non-invasive observation of internal functions in zebrafish.
  • Advanced imaging modalities simplify the study of developmental events in zebrafish embryos and larvae.
  • Zebrafish's transparency combined with these techniques provides unprecedented insights into biological processes.

Conclusions:
