Working on #Zebrafish atlas next!

This is the first daphnia microanatomical atlas to include male and female daphnia, and we hope this atlas will be a great resource for researchers.

MeeSiing Ngu led the work; together with Keith Cheng at Penn State University, Luisa Orsini and John Colbourne at the University of Birmingham, and Dr. Beaton at Mount Allison University, Canada, we curated an open-access atlas for the daphnia community.

We routinely use PTA in my lab. We stained Daphnia, Zebrafish, mouse, Xenapus, axolotl without much issue. Occasionally need to optimize for duration and concentration. Fly has been the hardest to stained. We tried pricking the fly abdomen, but also requires long staining duration.

Yes, the uptake is too long. The cuticles makes it hard to stain the fly. And also hard to get an even staining throughout the whole fly.

Have you try to stain the fly with other metal stains such as PTA or PMA?
