Labeled with an antibody against acetylated tubulin after optical clearing, and captured using a color-coded Z-projection.
This is a fantastic feeling, Formery shared.
Winning the global award feels like an incredible achievement and shows I made progress.
Global Winner, Laurent Formery (USA).Nervous system of a juvenile sea star (Patiria miniata) about 1 cm wide. Labeled with an antibody against acetylated tubulin after optical clearing, and captured using a color-coded Z-projection.
The Global Image of the Year Scientific Light Microscopy Awards highlights the best scientific imaging.
The dew was blown on a microscope slide with a straw and was captured in a single frame.
Retarder and a two-cross polarization filter were used to bring out the colors.
Materials Science Winner, Shyam Rathod (India).Crystal of a topical medicine for wart treatment named ABE, which is available in Poland. The dew was blown on a microscope slide with a straw and was captured in a single frame. Retarder and a two-cross polarization filter were used to bring out the colors.
Honorable mention, Robert Berdan (Canada).Cross section of a blue spruce (Picea pungens) branch.
The image is a panorama of several photos that were focus stacked and captured with a 5X objective.
640 images from 38 countries were entered into this year’s contest.
