Description: Mesenchymal cell expressing membrane targeted EGFP. This image was taken with a novel in ovo microscopy approach. We electroporated young chick embryo with pCAGGS-gpiEGFP vector to obtain a salt and pepper distribution of labelled cells. The egg was sealed with Teflon membrane that allowed gas exchange and embryo visualization and placed under the CLSM microscope. A 30 microns thick z-stack of 0,5 micron steps was taken. Z-stack was color coded for depth and maximum projected in Fiji. I like the false solitude of this cell – in reality it is surrounded by a multitude of unlabelled cells.
