Individual scales of adult zebrafish were snipped with micro scissors, causing widespread damage in the epidermis and Wallerian degeneration. Degeneration of axons (magenta) was observed 2-4 h after injury, and mpeg1+ Langerhans cells (cyan) were then observed engulfing axonal debris. Scale bar: 100 μm.
