In green, the excitatory hippocampal neurons, which express Green Fluorescent Protein under Thy1 promoter. In red, Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein revealed with Alexa Fluor 594 antibody. In blue, cell nuclei labelled with DAPI. Captured with a super resolution confocal microscope system. |

This remarkable image shows the autofluorescence of a mouse embryo with 950 tiles stitched together. |
Honorable Mentions
This is the ovary of a gall-inducing wasp anselmella miltoni girault showing their eggs captured with a confocal microscope. | Inflorescence of arabidopsis thaliana with young, developing flower buds expressing a fluorescent reporters. | A preparation of amino acids L glutamine and beta alanine crystalized out of an ethanol solution and photographed at 50X using polarizing filters. |
Mouse spinal cord with a GFP expression and cleared with the CLARITY method. | Image of 3D depth: color-coded reconstruction of confocal images of tubulin (microtubuli) in mitotic COS7 monkey fibroblast cells. | Captured a part of foldable wings of an insect, and named as “a road in the sky”, because veins look like roads and spines on wing membrane are like stars. |
Different photonic crystals in insects on the elytron of the longhorned beetle Sternotomis pulchra. | Nuclei (red) and microtubules (green) highlight the neurons of the brain. | This image shows the green gem material, prase opal, which when magnified through a microscope remarkable resembles an aerial view of a coastline. |
