A honeycomb-like image of the marine diatom Trigonium, taken by ϲappSenior Scientist Michael Shribak, has won sponsored by
OPA is published monthly by (formerly the Optical Society of America), the leading society for optics and photonics.
Shribak captured the image on a microscope he and the late ϲappDistinguished Scientist ShinyaInoué f and which Shribak continues to develop for use with a variety of organisms.
Called the OI-DIC microscope, it is particularly suited for imaging transparent organisms, such as the medusa Clytia with Jocelyn Malamy of University of Chicago. The microscope enables live imaging of dynamic cellular processes at high resolution, without the need for dyes or labels in the sample.
. Congratulations!
