Fluorescence microscopy images showing multiple stages of early embryo cell division, with brightly labeled chromosomes visible during mitosi

The Blatt BioImaging Center is a light microscopy core facility that focuses on live cell and enhanced resolution imaging of diverse model organisms ranging from cells to organoids and whole organisms. Located on the 2nd and 3rd floors in the Biology Department in the Life Sciences Complex (Rooms 249, 259, 359 and 318) the imaging center houses state-of-the art confocal microscopes and high-resolution bright field imaging systems. The resources and services of the Blatt BioImaging Center are open to biomedical scientists (students, staff and faculty) at Syracuse University and external investigators at both academic institutions and commercial enterprises in the Upstate New York area.

A collaboration between Blatt BioImaging center users, the Physics Department’s Patteson lab, and the Department of Biomedical and Chemical Engineering’s Soman lab produces cool microscopy images!

Cover of the May 2023 issue of PLOS Genetics, featuring a microscopy image of a developing zebrafish structure with fluorescently labeled cilia and cellular organization.

Title: Rab8, Rab11, and Rab35 coordinate lumen and cilia formation during zebrafish left-right organizer development

Authors: Abrar A. Aljiboury, Eric Ingram, Nikhila Krishhan, Favour Ononiwu, Debadrita Pal, Julie Manikas, Christopher Taveras, Nicole A. Hall, Jonah Da Silva, Judy Freshour, Heidi Hehnly

Description: Kupffer's Vesicle (KV): The ciliated zebrafish organ of asymmetry Confocal maximum projection of the zebrafish organ of asymmetry known as Kupffer's Vesicle (KV) during the lumen stage. KV cells are marked using a Sox17: GFP-CAAX zebrafish line (inverted grey LUT) and cilia extending into the KV lumen are marked with an anti-acetylated tubulin antibody (16-color LUT).
