The Nerve…
This is a process with nerve fibers in it coming from a retina seen while preparing data for a colleague. I love the patterns that emerge in microscopy and the colors that come from visualizing...

Retinal Vasculature Visualized And An Editorial On Science Funding
Several companies have this technology or are coming out with it soon, but I got to play around with a new toy from Zeiss, a high definition OCT (Cirrus HD-OCT Model 5000) to look at the vasculature...

Minerals And Lasers
This was a test shot for a little project I am working on with the University of Utah’s Scientific Computing Institute. What is it? I cannot say yet, but it involves optics, imaging, lasers and...

Gap Junction Tilt Series
One of the important structures in how neural systems are connected are gap junctions. Gap junctions allow for current to flow directly between neurons and in fact, have historically been called...

Bipolar Cell Axons
Each of these colored lines represents a subset of annotated bipolar cell axons in the retina of a mouse, mapped out from our second M-RC2 connectome. Each one of these processes in this area is...

The Very First Synapse
This is the very first synapse in your visual system. This is cone photoreceptor terminal showing ribbon synapses (the dark lines), making synapses onto bipolar cell and horizontal cell dendrites....

Neurodegenerative Disease
Exploring neural tissues from patients with neuro-degenerative disease using an electron microscope, you come across fields of structures that are chaotic and make little sense. This is reflective of...

Leukocyte
This image of a white blood cell popped up this morning while looking at electron microscopy. You see all sorts of stuff in the electron beam that you don’t normally study, but it all goes into a...

SEM vs. TEM
This image is a sample from a high end scanning electron microscope (SEM) that I spent some time on a little while ago to do a test run, validating some calculations on how long it would take to...

Retinal Blood Vessels
This is a projected image (focus stacked) of the vascular branches in the retina at the back of the eye. While all mammalians have vasculature behind the retina (choroid) that supplies it with oxygen...

Age Related Macular Degeneration Retina
This is a flat mount of a human retina from a patient with Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). The optic nerve is at the center, and the pale yellow blotch to the right of the optic nerve head is...
