Zebrafish ( Danio rerio ) has become one of the most common models for genetics, and developmental research in the biosciences. Synchrotron radiation micro computer tomography (SRμCT), scanning electron microscopy, polarized light microscopy, and energy‐dispersive X‐ray analysis were applied to visualize the biomineralization in teeth and bones in high spatial resolution.
