(A) Zebrafish embryo during segmentation of the body axis. (B) The same transgenic embryo as in (A) in the Her1::YFP fluorescence channel highlighting regions of oscillatory gene expression [4]. The green arrow indicates the propagation direction of the waves. (C) A Doppler effect occurs as the anterior end moves into the waves due to PSM shortening.

Measurement of the segment length at time of formation from brightfield microscopy time-lapse movies. Quantification procedure adapted from [21].
