Kupffer’s vesicle in the zebrafish embryo. A. A dorsal view of Kupffer’s vesicle (KV) in a live zebrafish embryo at 8-somite stage (8 ss) of development. This is a brightfield image taken using a Zeiss Discovery V12 stereomicroscope. B. A schematic diagram of KV shows cell shapes at middle focal plane, and cilia (red and blue) projecting into the lumen to drive fluid flow within the KV after remodeling at 8 ss. A = Anterior; P = Posterior, L = Left; R = Right; D = Dorsal; V = Ventral. Anterior KV cells are represented in blue and posterior KV cells are red. Arrow = strong leftward flow.
