CAB visualization

Organism : Ascidian
Species : Phallusia mammillata
Description : Unfertilized Phallusia eggs injected with PH::Tom (red) to label the plasma membrane and also with EB3::GFP (green) to label microtubules. Embryo at the 8-cell stage with the two CAB blastomeres at the bottom. Several z-planes from a confocal time-series rendered in 3D to better visualize the CAB protrusion. Note the CAB can be seen as a protrusion in both blastomeres (red).
