Scan of 1 cubic millimeter of the human brain

Full scan of 1 cubic millimeter of brain tissue that took 1.4 petabytes of data, equivalent to 14,000 4K movies.

Being in geology means struggling with trying to take a pic through the microscope binoculars (biologist also know the pain lmao)

My hands are shaking lol.

Metastatic embolus from breast adenocarcinoma in the lungs

cancer cells are usually very metamorphic, which you can tell by the different shapes of the nuclei in this embolus. i love how you can see the metastasis inside a vessel perfectly in this picture!

Thumbs Up For Science

The cover of the legendary journal Nature from February 1879, featuring this thumb microscope, yours for the low, low price of three pounds.

Behold the Gastric Rainbow. Sounds gross, but it’s actually beautiful. This cross-section of a mouse intestine is labeled with a spectrum of fluorescent molecules. From the green and magenta digestive enzyme-producing cells to the red mucus-secreting cells, this is one of the most dynamic areas in the mammalian body: Each cell is replaced by another every 3-5 days.

Some pictures of stuff I took with my microscope this past month, which is something I've been very interested in lately

Left to right: closterium, carchesium, frontonia (I think), heliozoa, heteronema acus, tardigrade, lacrymaria olor, blepharisma

Having some fun with a microscope. Here's a close up on a fly.

Fine I admit it, maybe they are kind of cool looking up close

Today is Biologist's Day, it's my first celebration as a student of this science, there were several conferences at my university and they were all very interesting! , they made me remember why I started this

it was a fun week but now I have a lot of homework and things to study

Today at the university we made organoids from mouse tissue.

I prepared a mammal for the first time.

The photos show the mouse organs before being fragmented.

You can see intestine, pancreas, heart and lung.
