What do we see when looking at cells under the microscope? 👉Some are bigger than others, some are elongated and align with the neighbors & others seem to move. Cool, right? But wouldn't it be cooler to quantify these observations?

I'm @juliaeckert.bsky.social. Let's explore some analysis software!‬

Ah, sorry I was not clear: the mRNA encodes a membrane bound fluorescent protein. The embryo translates the mRNA and makes itself fluorescent! The full protocol for this particular time-lapse is in the supplementary material of this publication doi.org/10.3389/fcel...
