Description
This is IMAGE #2 (hour 2) of a developing neuron from the optic tectum of an albino Xenopus laevis tadpole CNS, stage 47. The cell was imaged at a 2 hour intervals over 8 hours, and shows the development and morphological plasticity of the dendritic arbor and axon over time. The cell was transfected with in vivo electroporation of plasmid DNA encoding eGFP ~24 hours before the image was acquired. The intact, living tadpole was anesthetized, positioned under a glass coverslip and this image was taken directly through its transparent skin using a custom built two-photon microscope.
