The Anatomy and Different Cell Types of the Zebrafish Caudal Fin
(A–C) The zebrafish adult caudal fin is almost transparent, except that it has some pigmented cells: the melanocytes (black cells), xanthophores (yellow cells), and iridophores (shiny cells) (A). The caudal fin is supported by 18 bony fin rays (B). Cross section of a single fin ray identifies at least ten different cell types. The organization of the different cell types in the fin ray is illustrated in (C). Scale bars, 0.2 mm.
