Featured image with Brittany Carr

Posted by FocalPlane, on 24 April 2026

Our featured image, acquired by Brittany Carr, shows the rod and cone photoreceptor outer segments from a tadpole retina. Photoreceptor outer segments are responsible for capturing photons of light and transducing them into chemical signals. Frog rods are large, so this image also shows the incisures, which are invaginations into the outer segment that gives

Federal Super-Resolution Network in Argentina

Posted by Lucía Lopez, on 4 December 2025

About twenty years ago, a series of methods known today as super-resolution microscopy were discovered. Since then, super-resolution microscopy has become a powerful tool for discovery in cell biology, biomedicine, and biophysics. However, the complexity of some methods, high costs, and demanding sample preparation protocols have hindered their widespread application. In Argentina, the group led

Our featured image, acquired by Anthony Dornan and Fara van der Schans, showcases the perinuclear distribution of mitochondria in the highly respiratory human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) tumour cells (Panc-1) stained with the mitochondrial stain TMRE (thermal LUT), the mitochondria are associated with the nuclei, stained with DAPI (cyan). The live cell image is a maximum intensity Z-projection generated
