Abstract
Investigating cell dynamics during early zebrafish embryogenesis requires specific image acquisition and analysis strategies. Multiharmonic microscopy -second (SHG) and third harmonic generation (THG)- allows imaging cell divisions and cell membranes in unstained zebrafish embryos from 1-cell to 1K-cell stage. This article presents the design and implementation of a dedicated image processing pipeline (tracking and segmentation) for the reconstruction of cell dynamics during these developmental stages. This methodology allows the reconstruction of the cell lineage tree including division timings, spatial coordinates, and cell shape until the 1K-cell stage with minute temporal accuracy and m spatial resolution. Data analysis of the digital embryos provides an extensive quantitative description of early zebrafish embryogenesis.
