Using intravital microscopy, this protocol enables the real-time visualization of intestinal tissue up to a single-cell resolution and the study of highly dynamic processes such as cell shedding. In combination with the standard tracer experiments

Taking advantage of intravital microscopy, the method presented here enables real-time visualization of intestinal epithelial cell shedding in living animals. Therefore, topically stained intestinal mucosa (acriflavine and rhodamineB-dextran) of anesthetized mice is imaged up to single-cell resolution using confocal microscopy.
