Reconstructed 3D morphology of a zebrafish MC. Representative three-dimensional rotation from a confocal z-stack illustrating MC position and morphology from a scale stained with anti-GFP to label Tg(atoh1a:lifeact-egfp) and DAPI to label epidermal nuclei. Arrowheads indicate basal facing microvilli. Scale bar, 5 μm.
