Fluorescence image of a neuronal culture created by stitching together six images collected at 40x magnification. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.

This fluorescent micrograph shows a microelectrode penetrating the cell body of a neurone in the retina of a living eye. The electrode is injecting a fluorescent dye (lucifer yellow) into the cell, fi...

Confocal microscope image of a developing Purkinje cell in the cerebellum of a 9 day postnatal rat. The cerebellum contains millions of these cells which are involved with integrating motor and sensor...
