Our morning session started with talks on the open science ecosystem from Tobias Wenzel & Hernán Grecco. Both speakers emphasised the importance of training. Quote of the day so far, “By democratising science, we strengthen democracy!”

Light Sheet ❤️

This amazing image obtained in our Light sheet🔬, shows a chick embryo injected by Jesus Juarez with a fluorescent dye to label its vascular network.

One of the most relevant challenges in light sheet microscopy is the mounting of samples. Different strategies, creativity and a lot of patience are required to carry out this task!

Would you like to see the final result?

Towing of lateral line axons in vivo in a transgenic zebrafish embryo. Great imaging at the EMBO #DevBiol course in Quintay, Chile, using a Zeiss Light Sheet microscope. Huge thanks to Universidad Mayor, Microxchile, Leo Valdivia, & LiSIUM_Chile for allowing the use of the microscope at the course
