On the third installment of our CZ Biohub series, we visit a lab nicknamed "Le Petit Hotel de Poisson" (The Tiny Fish Hotel) where scientists are using zebrafish as a model organism to study human development. Along the way, we'll meet Loïc A. Royer, who leads a team at Biohub including Merlin Lange and Shruthi VijayKumar who are using something called a light-sheet microscope to document the incredible complexity of individual cells as they develop into fully functioning organisms. Manu Leonetti and Sandy Schmid from previous CZ Biohub episodes also join us on the tour.

Surgical microscopes have become one of the most vital tools in the modern operating room. They assist surgeons in having a better and more explicit vision during surgeries. Ophthalmic surgical microscopes are designed for eye operations, and one can see that they improve the situation significantly. You know there are more than 30 types of microscopes, know about them at: https://labgoindia.com/product-category/microscope
