This dataset contains images of UV cone nuclei (labelled by transgenic expression of a photoconvertible fluorescent protein) near the retinal margin in live fish.
The most important images in the dataset are the following:
1. Images (at 4X magnification) of UV cones immediately after photoconversion of a patch near the retinal margin
2. Images (at 4X magnification) of UV cones 2-4 days after photoconversion of a patch near the retinal margin
Also, included is code for calculating triangulations (which connect UV cone nuclei which are nearest neighbors). This code allows us to check for motion of UV cones relative to each other between the time of photoconversion and subsequent imaging.
