Abstract_ Background A novel transparent stock of medaka Oryzias latipes STII recessive for all pigments found in chromatophores permits transcutaneous imaging of internal organs and tissues in living individuals. Findings presented describe the development of methodologies for non invasive in vivo investigation in STII medaka and the successful application of these methodologies to in vivo study of hepatobiliary structure function and xenobiotic response in both 2 and 3 dimensions. Results Using brightfield and widefield and confocal fluorescence microscopy coupled with the in vivo application of fluorescent probes structural and functional features of the hepatobiliary system and xenobiotic induced toxicity were imaged at the cellular level with high resolution I pm in living individuals. The findings presented demonstrate I phenotypic response to xenobiotic .
