Neuroscientists investigate neuronal communication with ultra-thin fiber-based endo-microscope
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-06-neuroscientists-neuronal-communication-ultra-thin-fiber-based.htmlThis summarizes a paper in which researchers created a microscope probe using a single, 110 µm diameter optical fiber. An interesting technique from this that I had not seen before, was that the end of the optical fiber is angled and coated with aluminum to create a mirror looking perpendicular to the length of the fiber. This enables researchers to image living cells less intrusively. ... read full post

Tarantula embryo gene expression
https://imgur.com/K6gPhCxTarantula (Acanthoscurria geniculata) embryo showing expression of genes that pattern the legs and body wall. Right side has curved abdomen, 4 walking legs, and 1 pedipalp (head accidentally removed). Left side has curved abdomen and 1 walking leg (the rest accidentally removed).
The pink/white stripes are where the gene "odd-skipped" is expressed, which marks where the leg joints will form.

Leaf Stomatas with Nail Polish and Cheap Classroom Microscopes
http://tayaut.net/leaf_dicot.jpeg
The school year just ended but I wanted to show off what my class was able to accomplish with some cheap high school microscopes. The images below are under-leaf impressions of diocot and monocot plants which show the stomata used to control water evaporation. To avoid the preparation of slicing leaves themselves we painted a thin layer of nail polish on the underside. Peeling this dry layer off results in a mold of the leaf itself which can then be attached to a blank slide with cellophane tape. ... read full post
