Larger Image Fig. 2. Wholemount in situ hybridization with equivalently labeled probes for the four low-molecular-mass neuronal intermediate filament (nIF) mRNAs in newly hatched (stage 33/34–35/36) tadpoles. Embryos were hybridized with cRNA probes to XIF3 (A), XNIF (B), xefiltin (C), and low-molecular-weight neurofilament protein (NF-L; D) under parallel conditions to provide an indication of the relative abundance of each. Specimens were photographed without clearing to avoid confusion from underlying structures. The right-left axis of D was reversed to match the orientation of the other photomicrographs. m, Mesencephalon; o, olfactory pit; p, prosencephalon; rh, rhombencephalon; sc, spinal cord. Roman numerals indicate respective cranial ganglia. Scale bar 5 300 mm. Image published in: Gervasi C et al. (2000) Copyright © 2000.
