Fig. 6 Expression of TubB4b[Chr5]-EGFP and TubB4b(R391H)[Chr5]-EGFP in inner ear lateral cristae and lateral line neuromast of 5 dpf larva. KO tubB4b[Chr5]+/− larva (A,D), Tg(tubB4b[Chr5]:TubB4b[Chr5]-EGFP)+/0; KO tubB4b[Chr5]+/− larva (B,E) and Tg(tubB4b[Chr5]:TubB4b(R391H)[Chr5]-EGFP)+/0; KO tubB4b[Chr5]+/− larva (C,F) were imaged live by spinning microscopy. Single digital section in central area of cristae (A–C); maximum projection of image stacks from head neuromasts (D–F) with lateral (left panel) or apical (right panel) view. Scale bar = 10 μm for all images. Note that pigment cells autofluorescence can sometimes be seen around cristae or neuromast. For each set of images, top panel = green fluorescence signal (EGFP wavelength) and bottom panel = phase contrast image of the same area.
