The keyhole nebula looks like it has an "up-yours" middle finger salute mini-nebula next to it.

Do you know, AD, that we have a thread for that?

Yeah, well you would have guessed it in about 1.7 seconds, and then posted a picture of something I'm not smart enough to decipher, but I guess I'll go down to games and post something in it anyway. See you there.

some bloody lovely stuff there alright. the squid suckers on in particular floated my boat.
good stuff. thank you to your lovely and brilliant daughter.

In light of today's announcement of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry about green fluorescent protein and its derivatives, here is a picture of brain cells expressing several different-color fluorescent proteins.

from a science blog a year ago.

Matty · 10-08-2008, 06:52 PM

v cool. The fluorescent agar plate i posted on the prev page is from the Tsien lab and he is far and away the best lecturer i've ever had the privilege of sitting listening agog to. me and about a thousand others. As i said in Oolons thread in E/O its rare to hear a presentation where you could hear a pin drop in a room of a thousand or so people but he had that easy fascination and enthusiasm for his subject that somehow passes over for certain people.

Congrats Prof Tsien.

And heres to fluorescent glowy shit without which i wouldnt have a job. or this job that i love, anyway.

nygreenguy · 10-08-2008, 11:20 PM

Im taking pics of glowy plant shit next week. Ill post the pics, as long as my transformation works.

Here's my favourite insect photographer's page. His mantid photos are beyond beautiful.

Matty · 11-05-2008, 06:49 PM

wow, yeah thre are some pretty damn awesome shots on there.
the stag beetle is excellent.

borealis · 11-05-2008, 06:58 PM

Yes, that one's a beauty. But I'm just astounded by the colour and variety of all those mantids. They don't even look real, but I bet they all disappear when in their own habitat.

Lots of organic compounds exhibit autofluorescence. H&E stains autofluoresce over most of the visible spectrum. I took these on Friday to show somebody why trying to see GFP in a tissue already stained with haematoxylin wasn't such a great idea.

Matty · 11-17-2008, 05:13 PM

some lovely co localisation there Judanne

I had to explain to someone today why its wasnt acceptable to carry out a cell death assay when he'd neglected to include a (hopefully) healthy non treated control. And despite me saying hte same thing to him on the last exp. He seems to think that if he is a bit short of cells then it is the best bet to lose all his controls and just do the treated samples, and i have explained to him on multiple occasions that by doing so he invalidates the entire fucking experiment. STILL he doesnt seem to get it. "

I swear some people need to go back to fucking high school.

"Now then welcome to tard science 101, does the idea of a control mean anything to you? .
You know, the cornerstone of comparison? The essential building block of the scientific process? Anything stirring? No? FFS okay start at the beginning "

judanne · 11-17-2008, 09:09 PM

Are these students or full fledged researchers...surely not the latter. Phew.

These I did today just for fun before bleaching the snot outta them with the tornado bleach function on the FV1000

I gotta say, my high resolution bvp cells look like crap after the lossy compression. Is there some way to post the TIF file here?

Gotta go now.

Vicious Love · 11-17-2008, 10:56 PM

You could just use some other lossless truecolor format. PNGs are big, but not that big.

judanne · 11-18-2008, 12:50 AM

Thanks, I'll try that format and see how it turns out. It's disappointing to create an awesome image only to have to display it for others in jpeg. I did that one at 1028 x 1028 with a 60X oil /1.42 NA lens. It's a superb lens. Too bad those 2 cells are sitting on top of each other. I had to lower the camera sensitivity a little because where they overlap the pixels were saturated. Consequently the green channel is a little faded looking, especially in this file format. It looked a whole lot better as an oib file on our gigantico hi-res monitor though

Oh well.

ETA: Scratch camera replace with PMT...obviously time for me to get some sleep.

Matty · 11-18-2008, 01:40 AM

yeah i'm glad to say that was a student, one who is incapable of listening unfortunately. His profs on a conference trip at the mo but a quiet word in her shell like when she comes back is probably in order. I honestly dont know how the fuck such people wind up on ANY science course at unniversity, unless they mistakenly think that user of controls is just something that noobs do. this guy is notoriously flakey though anyway and luckily such people are rare, but it amazes me that ANY get through the net.

yeah the compression always makes our images seem pretty dark. I havent found a great way around it other than resizing them tbh.

nice pics though,
all88 phalloidin, dapi or hoescht and what was the other, a mitotracker or something?
