A #fluorescencefriday image of an adult #zebrafish kidney by the Drummond Lab's Caramai Kamei, Ph.D.
We are looking at the aorta that runs through the kidney. Blood vessels connect to glomeruli, which hang like fruits on a tree.

We have been thinking a lot recently on how to share and interact with code when doing image analysis. This is one piece of the puzzle. Awesome work driven by Bruno S.
Always a delight to work with @henriqueslab.bsky.social 🫶
More to come soon 😄.
