Quantitative microscopy uncovers ploidy changes during mitosis in live Drosophila embryos and their effect on nuclear size

Time-lapse microscopy is a powerful tool to investigate cellular and developmental dynamics. In Drosophila melanogaster, it can be used to study division cycles in embryogenesis. To obtain quantitative information from 3D time-lapse data and track proliferating nuclei from the syncytial stage until...
