The winners of the Nikon Small World photography contest have been announced and they are breathtaking. Seen here is the 1st Place winner, "Double transgenic mouse embryo, 18.5 days (17x)," taken by Gloria Kwon of the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Institute. To create the image, she used brightfield, darkfield, and fluorescence (GFP and RFP) microscopy techniques.

I sent this to my father who researches transporters in kidneys and he responded:

Interesting how many of the top ones are biology, whereas the physical science ones are placed lower.
Also appropriate that the mouse mosaic of a fetus from one cell line and the amnion from another makes first prize; not only is the photograph beautiful, but the work required to generate it so outclasses the competitors it isn't even funny...the reviewers are clearly knowledgeable scientists.
