Last year I published a snapshot of a mitotic wave in a fruit fly embryo. Here’s the video of that same embryo going through cleavage (nuclei divisions) and gastrulation (cell movements): Mitotic waves What you see at the beginning of the movie are the cycles of synchronous nuclei divisions. They happen in waves from the […]

A mitotic wave traveling through an early #Drosophila #embryo #FlyFriday
A short video that I made about the embryonic development of the likeable Drosophila, also known as fruit fly or vinegar fly, won an honorable mention in the Small World in Motion. The details on the techniques I used and the video on its full resolution are available for download and re-use on the Wikimedia […]
Here is how a typical session of imaging embryos under Lightsheet Microscopy goes. A glimpse into my day-to-day work :) Assemble the incubation chamber: Collect and mount the embryos: Acquire a short timelapse from multiple angles: Transfer (lots of) data for image processing ;)
