The communications between oocyte and granulosa cells are essential for ovarian folliculogenesis in mammals, and the communicating structures in the ZP had been widely reported. However, there was lack of direct approach to visualize these structures in a 3D model with a high-resolution. Here, we present a protocol to image the structures which derived from oocytes by combining endogenous fluorescent mouse models with a high-resolution spinning disc-confocal system in details
