The Zebrafish Atlas was created to answer a community call for a comprehensive, web-based, anatomical and pathological atlas of the zebrafish, which has become one of the most widely used vertebrate animal models globally. The experimental strengths of zebrafish as a model system have made it useful for a wide range of investigations addressing the missions of the NIH and NSF.
For digitizing histology slides, we purchased a Scanscope T2 scanner from Aperio Technologies, Inc. This system allows us to scan at both 20x and 40x magnification. We can scan entire slides or sections of slides and can scan up to 120 slides in a batch mode with the T2's robotic device.
We are producing 3D reconstructions from serial plastic sections of zebrafish embryos and larvae (Moorman lab).
