| Abstract |
Zebrafish is one of the ideal model animals to study the structural and functional heterogeneities in development. However, the lack of high throughput 3D imaging techniques has limited studies to only a few samples, despite zebrafish spawning tens of embryos at once. Here, we report a light-sheet flow imaging system (LS-FIS) based on light-sheet illumination and a continuous flow imager. LS-FIS enables whole-larva 3D imaging of tens of samples within half an hour. The high throughput 3D imaging capability of LS-FIS was demonstrated with the developmental study of the zebrafish vasculature from 3 to 9 days post-fertilization. Statistical analysis shows significant variances in trunk vessel development but less in hyaloid vessel development.(c) 2022 Optica Publishing Group under the terms of the Optica Open Access Publishing Agreement |
