Cover picture: Multiphoton image of a viable organotypic slice from an embryonic day 12 mouse neocortex. This slice was immersion stained in CellTracker Green to label the cell cytoplasm and Syto82 (Invitrogen) for nucleic acid staining. This is the onset of neocortical neurogenesis, and the first neurons in the preplate (top layer of cells) have migrated above the precursors in the ventricular zone (VZ). A VZ cell in metaphase is situated at the surface of the ventricle (bottom center). The slice was excited with a femtosecond multiphoton laser tuned to 800 nm, and the emission spectra were separated using FITC and RITC filters. For details, see the article by Gal et al. in the January 18, 2006 issue (pages 1045-1056).
