Excerpt:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>White created the transparent fish, which he nicknamed Casper, by mating two existing zebrafish breeds, one that lacked a reflective skin pigment and the other without black pigment. The offspring had only yellow skin pigment, essentially appearing clear.<\/p>\n<p>In one experiment, White and his colleagues inserted a fluorescent melanoma tumor into the abdominal cavity of the transparent fish. By observing the fish under a microscope, they found that the cancer cells started spreading within five days. White could actually see individual cells spreading.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.livescience.com\/animals\/080206-see-thru-fish.html\">full article<\/a>.
