New techniques are needed to study the coronary microvasculature in the embryo and to quantify the differences between healthy and diseased coronary development. We combine our custom optical clearing method (LIMPID), fluorescent staining with DiI and DAPI, and 3D confocal microscopy to visualize the coronary vasculature at two developmental stages (day 9, 13) in quails. We discovered a highly organized coronary vessel network that is aligned with surrounding myocardium cells even at early developmental stages. By characterizing the normal heart vasculature, this experiment provides a baseline for future studies on how diseases affect coronary and myocardial orientation in the embryo.
