FLIM HeLa cell by Soheila Sabouri, FV3000
Title: FLIM HeLa cell by Soheila Sabouri Description: It is a FLIM result of HeLa cells stained by new generation of fluorescent probes (AIE: Aggregation-Induced Emission). Lifetme of the dye in every part of cell is different which shows the combination of this AIE dye and the imaging technique is successful to map and measure intracellular microenvironment accurately. Instrument:FV3000 -
Anisotropy FAIM by Soheila Sabouri, FV3000

Neuromuscular Junction by Chris Karagiannis, LSM900 Airyscan
Title: Neuromuscular Junction by Chris Karagiannis Description: This is a composite image of a neuromuscular junction. Every muscle fiber is innervated by a single neuron and at the intersection of this innervation forms the displayed junction. Red: microtubules following the axonal body. Blue: synaptic vesicles localized to the nerve terminal. Green: acetylcholine receptors at the muscle endplate. Instrument:LSM900 Airyscan -
Bandaged vessel by Pialuisa Quiriconi, LSM800
Title: Bandaged vessel by Pialuisa Quiriconi, LSM800 Description: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue sitting at the back of the eye and is responsible for vision. This image depicts a large blood vessel (red) in the retina and the contractile cells (green) wrapping around it like bandage, that control vessel tone to regulate blood flow. -
Coral in the eye by Pialuisa Quiriconi, LSM800
Title: Coral in the eye by Pialuisa Quiriconi, LSM800 Description: The retina is the light-sensitive tissue sitting at the back of the eye and is responsible for vision. This image depicts the finest blood vessels (red) in the retina called capillaries. Many cells reside amongst this dense network of vessels that resembles coral, including immune cells called microglia (green). -
Gaze of the abyss by Wei Chen, Leica SP8
Title: Gaze of the abyss by Wei Chen, Leica SP8 Description: The image shows the expression of an important neuronal receptor from Drosophila larval brain, that is targeted by the most widely used insecticide imidalorpid, which provide better understanding towards the insecticide's mode of action and help improve the design of insecticides of the future. -
Neuromuscular Junction by Chris Karagiannis, LMS900
Title: Neuromuscular Junction by Chris Karagiannis, LMS900 Description: The intersection between a neuron and the muscle fiber being innervated forms the imaged neuromuscular junction. -
The Ghost by Chau Le Bao Tran, LSM900
Title: The Ghost by Chau Le Bao Tran, LSM900 Description: Transplanted human cells (cell body in white and human nucleus in red) in mouse brain (DAPI in blue). Important for drug screening on human tissue in living host -
A few motoneurons by John-Paul Fuller-Jackson, Ultramicroscope II
Title: A few motoneurons by John-Paul Fuller-Jackson, Ultramicroscope II Description: Skeletal muscle is controlled by motoneurons in the spinal cord, which integrate signals from the environment and the brain via the spread of fibers seen in the image known as dendrites. -
Cochlear Implant in situ by Kate Brody, Ultramicroscope II
Title: Cochlear Implant in situ by Kate Brody, Ultramicroscope II Description: Light sheet microscopy image showing a cochlea which is implanted with a cochlear implant. Hair cells and macrophages are labelled in the green, neurons and extracellular matrix in the red and arterioles and myo-fibroblasts in the blue. Co-registered with the image is a micro-CT of the cochlear implant in situ -
Cochlea in colour by Kate Brody, Ultramicroscope II
Title: Cochlea in colour by Kate Brody, Ultramicroscope II Description: Light sheet microscopy image showing a cochlea which is implanted with a cochlear implant. Hair cells and macrophages are labelled in the green, neurons and extracellular matrix in the red and arterioles and myo-fibroblasts in the blue. -
Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte microtubules by Jiahong Li, Elyra/LSM880
Title: Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte microtubules by Jiahong Li, Elyra/LSM880 Description: The unusual nuclear microtubules appear in the non-mitotic stage Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte. Understand the structure and function of nuclear microtubules can help us to block gametocyte development and malaria diseases transmission. The microtubules were labeled with anti-beta tubulin (red), the chromatins were labeled with DAPI, and the general proteins were stained with NHS-ester 488 dye. -

Green fluorescence in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana by Amelia Keynton, Nikon C2
Title: Green fluorescence in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana by Amelia Keynton, Nikon C2 Description: The green dots which represent the nucleus of the cell tell us that our fluorescent protein is being expressed in every cell in the root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana. We use this to determine where specifically in the root different genetic elements called promoters can drive protein expression. -
