High-speed imaging of entire Drosophila embryonic development wins first place

Imaging of embryonic stage of  fruit fly using SiMView technology

A study published in nature methods back in June 2012, Raju Tomer et al. showed a novel high-speed in vivo imaging with SiMView technology, which recorded multiple views of the specimen simultaneously. SiMView data sets provided quantitative morphological information and enabled accurate automated cell tracking of an entire early embryo.

This simultaneous multi-view light-sheet microscopy technique may help reveal cell lineages, cell differentiation and whole-embryo morphogenesis, essential aspects of developmental biology.
