Announcing the winners of the Node–FocalPlane image competition.

We are delighted to announce the winners of the Node–FocalPlane image competition, which we presented at the Biologists @ 100 conference, as well as on the Node and FocalPlane.

In first place is ‘Cell-estial bloom’ from Özge Özgüç. Özge’s image is a colony of live hiPSCs, with fluorescently labelled Lamin B delineating the nuclear lamina within each cell.

Our first runner-up is Allan Carrillo-Baltodano’s image, ‘Dancing actinotroch’. Allan’s image shows an actinotroch larva of a phoronid worm with phalloidin shown in yellow and acetylated tubulin in magenta.  

Our second runner-up is titled, ‘Who’s active?’ and was acquired by Julia Peloggia de Castro. Julia’s image depicts a zebrafish embryo at 9 hours post-fertilisation on a lateral view. Cells are stained with MitoTracker, which labels active mitochondria, and cell membranes are labelled in cyan with a EGFP transgenic membrane tag.

Congratulations to Özge, Allan and Julia, and all the other finalists. Thanks to everyone that voted in the competition.

Look out for posts in our ‘Featured image’ series to discover more about some of the microscopists that shared images with us in this competition.
