Dorsal Section Through a Zebrafish Embryo during Gastrulation

Caption

This is a dorsal section through a zebrafish embryo during gastrulation showing neurectoderm tissue (cell nuclei in cyan and cell membrane in magenta) and underlying mesendodermal tissue (green cells). Friction forces are generated at the tissue interface of mesendoderm cells migrating to the animal pole and overlying neurectoderm cells moving in the opposite direction towards the vegetal pole of the embryo.
