The eye of science
This image is a composite of lateral pentascolopidial organs, a wing imaginal disc pouch, and an epithelial wound in a Drosophila larva. The organs are arranged here like eyelashes. Cells surrounding an epidermal wound appear as the iris and pupil of this artistic eye.
Bridging artificial intelligence and the life sciences – launch of ELLIS Heidelberg
Researchers from all life science disciplines – from fundamental biological research to medical applications – generate immense datasets. Analysing these datasets and gaining new knowledge from them is a growing challenge for scientists. The fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine…
Fish close-up
This group of cells represents an interesting example of organ formation where cells simultaneously move and change their shapes in a highly coordinated manner.
An ocean of droplets
Bacterial cells are embedded in microfluidic droplets in oil. The fluorescence indicates the presence of the targeted DNA strain with the help of a characteristic DNA sequence.
A bright view of the future
The image shows one of the four rows of roof lights above the atrium, which is the main public space of the Imaging Centre.
Muscular worm larva
The image shows a larva of Platynereis dumerilii, a marine worm. The image here was produced by Constantin Pape, a visiting predoctoral fellow in the Kreshuk group at EMBL Heidelberg.
