Live imaging of an early mouse embryo expressing fluorescent markers for cell membranes (magenta) and DNA (cyan). The right side shows a digitized version of the same embryos at the 8-cell stage.

In a new mouse study, researchers have used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to uncover new insights into how the fallopian ...

To address this gap, the UCSF team applied a method for 3D imaging and analysis of the early mouse embryo in its intact uterine surroundings which they had previously developed to study the ovaries.

Mouse embryos are notoriously hard to image. Light damages them. They don’t stay still. Keeping them outside the womb for more than 12 or so hours kills them.

Using only a mixture of stem cells, University of Cambridge researchers were able to generate a live, “synthetic” mouse embryo — complete with a brain and beating heart in what they deemed a ...

Nina Desai, Ph.D., a researcher at the Cleveland Clinic, says with the EmbryoScope, “You’re looking at real-time imaging of embryos as they develop. You can look at 12 embryos at a time ...

For the first time, scientists have created mouse embryos in the lab without using any eggs or sperm and watched them grow outside the womb. To achieve this feat, they used only stem cells and a ...

"3D imaging lets us 'see within' the embryo, ... "Light sheet microscopy is a standout choice for 3D imaging of live embryos, eclipsing confocal microscopy with remarkable results.
