Fig. 2 Detection of tdTomato(red) in various tissues of  Opn4Cre/+; Rosa26tdTomato/+ mice. Cre mediated recombination can be detected in   the eyes, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, serous layer of the large intestine, testis, epididymis, pulmonary bronchial epithelial cells, kidney, thymus and pituitary gland. Tdtomato expression can not be observed in the cerebellum, heart, liver, spleen, muscle, skin, stomach, small intestine or submandibular gland.
