Microanatomy of Adult Zebrafish Extraocular Muscles
Figure 7
Fluorescent immunohistochemistry highlights laminin localization at the MR, SR, and IR origin site.
DIC imaging reveals MR, SR, and IR from the left and right eye meeting at two common origin points with EOM tendons marked by asterisk (A). Fluorescent overlay shows laminin (red) evenly distributed throughout basement membranes of individual myocytes from all six muscles. Laminin appears to distribute evenly throughout EOM tendon and along the edge of bone as well (B). Anterior (A) and posterior (P) directions are noted (Frame A). Image tiles were captured with a 40x objective lens and merged into mosaics.
