New way to image whole organisms in 3D brings key skin color pigment into focus

Penn State College of Medicine researchers have developed a new technique that allows scientists to visualize every cell containing melanin pigment in 3D, in whole zebrafish. This could allow researchers to study the biological underpinnings of skin and hair pigmentation and related diseases.
