A transgenic quail from Peter Lwigale's lab, it is expressing fluorescence (GFP) to target vasculature, which you can see quite well around the eye at this stage. Imaged on a Leica Micro Thunder. Credit: Evan Curcio

Early stage fruit fly (drosophila) embryos captured on a Nikon Ti2 microscope with a Yokogawa W1 spinning disk confocal. The colors are krüppel (green) and knirps (magenta) in situ hybridizations.
