title: Live imaging of early mouse embryos using fluorescently labeled transgenic mice.
abstract: Live imaging is a powerful approach to understanding the dynamic processes that occur during development. Periimplantation mouse embryos are transparent, making them suitable for live imaging. In this chapter we describe the culturing and live imaging of mouse embryos, and also introduce the reporter mouse lines for organelle labeling we recently established.
