I’m getting better at taking videos through the microscope with my iPhone. However, I was having issues with focusing on specific areas, like focusing on one specific fish. I was able to get some decent video of developing beating hearts in an embryo and in a hatched baby fish that had not yet inflated it’s swim bladder (they mostly stay still that then). But there was so much white background. I tried to find some computer software that would let me crop the white areas out, but everything costs money I don’t have. I did find an app on iPhone that would crop my videos the way I wanted and let me send it to myself through email, or several other ways.

So now I have two examples showing the two chamber heart of a developing zebrafish. Nothing to do with my work since my lab will be focusing on the fishes brains and neurobiology.

That is weirdly cute.
