METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OBSERVING THREE DIMENSIONAL LOCALIZATION OF IN VIVO EXPRESSED GENE

Japanese Patent JP3796623

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To observe localization of an in vivo expressed gene in the whole of one individual of an organism such as an animal or a plant. SOLUTION: A gene recombined organism sample having a marker detectable when a specific gene is expressed is sequentially cut, and a sectional image forming the image of a cut surface is picked up for every cut of the organism sample. The three dimensional localization of the expressed gene in the organism sample is observed by observing the three dimensional organism sample based on the image picked up for every cut.
