Movie 1.

Rotational views through the Fn1+ ECM in the cardiac jelly. The whole E9.5 embryo was stained using Abcam rabbit monoclonal anti-Fn1 antibody and imaged using 100x objective, N.A. 1.49, with the pinhole set at 0.8 Airy units, and sampling of 40 nm per pixel in x, y. The movie shows 3D reconstruction through 3.4 μm of tissue sampled every 0.121 μm in z. Fn1 is in white, DAPI is in blue. Arrows point to examples of beaded Fn1 fibrils.
