[Zbrafish] Imaging Zebrafish

[Chi-Bin Chien]

Hi Sarah,

If you are talking about live 5 dpf fish, you will need to mount in  
some way; otherwise, they will float up because of their inflated swim  
bladders. Anesthetizing with tricaine and mounting in low-melt agarose  
is simple and effective.

best wishes,
Chi-Bin Chien
