A commonly used food coloring can make the skin of a living mouse transparent, allowing scientists to see its organs function, according to a new study.

Because of a counterintuitive fundamental physics principle, Tartrazine, also known as Yellow 5, can temporarily turn biological tissue transparent ... live mice, and other mouse tissue samples ...

All it requires is for the researchers to rub common yellow food dye onto the skin of the mice. It’s a strange occurrence, seeing a mouse’s skin turn transparent as you rub food dye on it.

This basically turned their skin transparent, an effect that easily reversed once the dye was washed away. The researchers applied the dye to the abdomen of mice and were able to watch neurons ...
