Photonics is one of the tools that helps me to study embryogenesis, by imaging cell movements and fate during early mouse development. Embryogenesis is the process by which a fertilized egg, consisting of a single apparently amorphous cell, develops into the final adult form, composed of many cells arranged in structures with specific shapes. We use a variety of microscopy techniques in our investigations, but are always keen to identify new approaches to image live cells with minimal photodamage.
