Multicellular rosette in a post-implantation mouse embryo.
This opacity rendering shows a confocal image volume of a 5.5 dpc mouse embryo. The embryo has been stained for the tight junction marker ZO-1 (white), which delineates the apical outlines of cells of the visceral endoderm, a simple epithelium that forms the surface of the embryo. Nuclei are stained with DAPI (blue). Rosettes are groups or five or more cells that share a common central vertex. The individual cells of a seven-cell rosette have been segmented in contrasting colors. See Trichas, et al. (e1001256).
