Beyond honoured that my image of a Malpighian (renal) tubule has won the Genetic Society of America’s Drosophila Image Award 2024 at #TAGC24 #Dros24. Especially as the award is based not just on aesthetics but the science it represents doi.org/10.1242/jcs.....

Cellular organisation of the fly’s kidney Detail of an adult Drosophila Malpighian (renal) tubule expressing membrane-bound GFP (green) in stellate cells – a population secondary intercalated cells required for transport of water – under the direction of c724GAL4, with staining of nuclei (DAPI, blue) and F-actin microfilaments (TRITC-conjugated phalloidin, magenta) in principal cells and stellate cells. Septate junctions are stained using an antibody for the junctional component Discs-large (anti-Dlg1, grey). The image was created by tiling of three separate maximum-intensity z projections obtained using a Nikon AX R NSPARC confocal.

I currently use a Zeiss Elyra for everyday SIM--it's definitely past its prime but still works for me. Nikon for live-cell work. I had a chance to test-drive a Nikon with an NSPARC detector and it was completely amazing. I hope our core can get one.

2025 Most Popular Image Award for Microbiology Bouquet of Trebouxia Photographer - Sandra Story, NUBAD, LLC Trebouxia (ATCC 30426) is a free-living green alga that often forms a symbiotic relationship with certain fungi. Trebouxia has a complex life cycle showing many cellular forms including motile. 2025 Most Popular Image Award for Cell Biology Mitosis in Color: A Super-Resolution View Photographer - Avishkar Sawant, Vanderbilt University Super-resolution image of a fixed hTERT-RPE1 cell (ATCC CRL-4000) undergoing mitosis, highlighting the intricate organization of cytoskeletal networks. DNA (cyan), vimentin (depth color-coded), microtubules (red), and actin (magenta) were visualized using NSPARC. The image is presented as a maximum intensity projection of NSPARC stacks. 2025 ATCC Excellence Image Award for Microbiology Microbial Minimalism Photographer - Mindy Engevik, Medical University of South Carolina This is an SEM image of Lactobacillus reuteri (ATCC 6475). 2025 ATCC Excellence Image Award for Microbiology The Butterfly Effect Photographer - Sandra Story, NUBAD, LLC Klebsiella pneumoniae (ATCC 13883) and Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6501). Fluorescence microscopy composite image of a mixture of bacteria that can be representative of a chronic poly-bacterial infection. Large masses of cells are Klebsiella pneumoniae exposed to a high dose of ertapenem causing the cells to elongate 10-50 times their normal size. Long rigid filaments are Bacillus subtilis common in soil, while Klebsiella pneumoniae are part of the normal microbial flora of the human lower digestive tract. Mixed genera of bacteria can coexist as poly-bacterial biofilms which supports exchange of drug resistance determinants via inter-species and inter-genus horizontal gene transfer. The biofilm-mode of growth supports other synergistic interactions that enhance virulence and promote resistance to antimicrobials resulting in difficult to treat chronic infections. Bacteria were cocultured in nutrient broth exposed to penicillin and incubated at 37 degrees Celsius to allow biofilm development. Samples of the biofilm were stained with three fluorescent dyes FM-64 (red, membrane stain), DAPI (blue, nucleic acid stain for both live and dead cells) and SYTOX Green (green, nucleic acid stain for dead cells) and then spotted onto an agarose nutrient pad sandwiched between a microscope slide and coverslip. The sample was viewed using a Leica DMi8 and illuminated using Texas red, DAPI and GFP filter sets. Images were taken with a K5 microscope camera. Scale bar 20 uM, 1000X magnification.

I had fun playing with the #Nikon AXR NSPARC #microscope. Got really nice high-resolution images of #pollen grains. I love the alpha + shading 3D rendering too!

I'm not at #FOM2023 - but some of my images are! Do you wonder if the NSPARC super-res confocal can see the 190-nm periodicity of the actin/spectrin scaffold along axons? The answer is yes! Check this and more in the @NikonInst talk, this afternoon at 4:50 #MicroscopyMonday

Check the latest e-book from Nikon Instruments in partnership with Science Magazine, "Pushing boundaries of microscopy for neuroscience": pages.nikoninst.com/science-ebook4
It features nice spectrin rings we imaged with the NSPARC super-resolved confocal💈

Super resolution imaging with Nikon's AXR-NSPARC was used to identify how differences in molecular functional groups enhance cellular uptake of nucleic acid therapeutics.

For us Olympus (Evident) is awol. Leica systems are good but v. expensive. We have multiple Zeiss’s, & 2 Nikons. Both come with excellent technical support (an essential component). Our newest ‘std’ confocal is the Nikon AXR NSPARC - with Resonant & Galvo scanner, NIR channel & SR capacity (~120nm).
