Video Supplements

Single plane and multiple plane imaging sequences showing periodic calcium waves in a zebrafish embryo at an early somite stage. The sequences span 195 minutes of development, and the playback speed is 40 frames per second, yielding a time-lapse compression of about 560x real time.

  A time-lapse sequence from the same imaging plane as Fig. 1D, the source of the time profiles in Fig. 1F and G.

• Video 2 -

  Sequences from 6 separate imaging planes constituting a z-axis depth of 90 microns were added together with the Image Calculator function in ImageJ. By adding the pixel values from multiple imaging planes, the calcium dynamics occuring through an extended depth of tissue can be represented in a single graphic frame.
