Fig. 6 Otolith development following modification. (A–C) Development of the same wild-type ear depicted in Figs. 5B–5F following enhancement of the posterior otolith with laser tweezers. (A) At 24 h, approximately 2 h after laser treatment, the posterior otolith is still many times the size of the anterior otolith. At 2 (B) and 6 days (C), the posterior otolith is nearly normal in size, but the anterior otolith remains much smaller than normal. (D–F) Development of a wild-type control embryo at 24 h (D), 2 days (E), and 6 days (F). Anterior is to the left and dorsal is upward in all panels. Scale bar, 25 (A and D), 45 (B and E), and 100 μm (C and F).
