Zebrafish retina with fluorescently labelled UV cones (magenta) wearing UV opsin antibody hats (cyan) and rods labelled with @jfadlab.bsky.social's wonderful 4c12 antibody (yellow). #FluorescenceFriday
Section of zebrafish retina, with whole UV cones labelled in magenta, UV cone outer segments in cyan, and rod cell bodies and outer segments in yellow.

Killifish retina in situ HCR for #FluorescenceFriday. #sciart
A cross-section of a retina, showing the distinct cellular layers. Cells are labelled with yellow, pink, and cyan punctate staining. Photoreceptor cells, apparent from their autofluorescent inner and outer segments, are in the top right of the image, while the ganglion cells are in the bottom left.

An image of a larval zebrafish retina I acquired while testing antibodies. It's a shame my favourite cells, the photoreceptors, aren't labelled! But the inner retina is very striking, and I like that the lens cells are so apparent. #FluorescenceFriday #sciart
A fluorescent micrograph of a zebrafish larvae retina, showing blue, pink, and yellow labelling across the laminae. Outer retina is on the left, inner retina on the right. The blue labelling is restricted to long cells that span most of the tissue (Müller glia cells), pink is many cells in the inner retina, and yellow is largely limited to the synaptic and photoreceptor layers. On the very right of the image is a half-circle, which is the lens.

Zebrafish cone photoreceptors in their pretty row mosaic. #FluorescenceFriday #sciart
Fluorescent cone photoreceptor cells from an adult zebrafish retina, with alternating green and pink cells in rows.
