N2 - The recent development of imaging and image processing techniques, such as 4D microscopy and 3D cell tracking, enables analysis through quantification of the movement of large cell populations in vivo. These imaging approaches provide an opportunity to study embryonic morphogenesis during development from the level of cellular processes to the scale of entire organism. Image analysis reveals cell collective behaviors that shape an embryo and offers some surprising insights into the cell-cell interactions involved in concerted movements. We illustrate the power of this approach by studying the early development of Drosophila embryos.
