Figure 1


Fig. 1. The morphology of superficial neuromasts in the lateral line of a zebrafish larva. Photographs from separate individuals illustrate the scale and location of the neuromast studied and its constitutent morphology. (A) A larva from a dorsal perspective illustrates the location of the P8 neuromast. The dashed lines show the region of interest in B. (B) The trunk neuromasts are visible in the caudal region with incident illumination. A single P8 neuromast is highlighted by dashed lines. (C) The kinocilia and cupula of a P8 neuromast are visible when examined with Nomarski optics after coating the cupula with polystyrene microspheres. A visual slice parallel to the sagittal plane (dashed line) is shown in D. (D) This cross-section of the cupula illustrates its major morphological features.
