Figure Lengend Snippet: Three-dimensional reconstruction of whole mount placental tissue for PDPN and α-SMA. By converting the two-dimensional images into a three-dimensional volume, spatial classification is possible. The whole mount immunofluorescence staining of a mouse placenta (12.5 dpc) for α-SMA (red) and podoplanin (green). Image was taken using light sheet microscopy. Shown is a computational volumetric reconstruction, revealing the three-dimensional architecture of vessels in the labyrinth with the podoplanin-expressing cells surrounding the vessels.
