Live imaging of zebrafish embryos that maintains normal development can be difficult to achieve due to a combination of sample mounting, immobilization, and phototoxicity issues that, once overcome, often still results in image quality sufficiently poor that computer-aided analysis or even manual analysis is not possible. Here, we describe our mounting strategy for imaging the zebrafish midbrain-hindbrain boundary (MHB) with light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) and pilot experiments to create a study-specific set of parameters for semiautomatically tracking cellular movements in the embryonic midbrain primordium during zebrafish segmentation.
