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 😄.
🎉 Today is the last of our Top Posts countdown. This time it's a #microscopymonday post from Bluesky.
Thank you for joining us as we revisited our top posts of 2025—for liking, sharing and being part of our digital community. It's what makes our work possible. 🧪 🐟🎸
