Abstract / Description of output

In vivo time-lapse microscopy provides important information about the kinetics of cellular events and their control by interactions with neighboring cells. Here, we describe the generation and use of transgenic zebrafish to visualize dynamics of myelinating glia using cell type-specific expression and microscopy of genetically encoded fluorescent proteins. With this method, we are able to simultaneously separate and trace up to three different colors over time.
