This series of images depicts the first 48 hours of zebrafish development, starting at a single cell and ending as a hatched young fish. If you look carefully at individual pages, you will see cell division (pages 1-10), development of eyes and other organs (starting at page 21), and development of muscles and pigment (starting at page 28).

In this stage of Drosophila development, nuclei divide very rapidly without cell division and the divisions are synchronized. The mitosis you see here took about 10 minutes from start to finish. Microtubules are shown in red, nuclei in green. Each nucleus is about 5 micrometers across (a micrometer, also called a micron, is 1/1,000,000 of a meter). Microscope Imaging Station
