Microscopic embryonic mouse brain (DAPI, GFP)
20x microscopic image of a coronal section of an embryonic mouse brain.
The tissue was stained with DAPI which interacts with DNA. So every blue oval-circular object is a cell nuclei (that is where most of the DNA is kept)
Some cells were transfected with a plasmid containing a sea jelly (jellyfish) gene which fluoresces green with the correct wavelength of light. This was used to look at stem cells and their descendants at a specific time point.
