Early ascidian (sea squirt) embryos visualized by differential interface contrast (DIC) microscopy. Ascidians are used as a model for developmental research. Their simple embryonic development is rapid and can be easily manipulated. In addition, each embryo contains only a few cells therefore complex cellular processes can be studied while remaining part of an intact embryo. The embryos are also transparent, which is ideal for fluorescent microscopy thus allowing scientists to visualize different developmental stages. A higher magnification image is available as CIL 39471.
