BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — With crisp resolution to 100 nanometers, the DeltaVision OMX imaging system is considered one of the world’s finest microscope systems. Upon its arrival to Indiana University Bloomington’s Light Microscopy Imaging Center in 2010, researchers quickly renamed it the “OMG” microscope for the amazing images it produced and for its ability to do super-speed imaging of multiple-labeled proteins in cells.

A metaphase epithelial cell stained for microtubules (red), kinetochores (green) and DNA (blue), was the winning image, submitted by IU, in the 2012 GE Healthcare Life Sciences Cell Imaging Competition. The DNA here is fixed in the process of being moved along the microtubules that form the structure of the spindle.

This 99-Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Tail Trapped in Amber Hints at Feather Evolution

The rare specimen provides new insights into how feathers came to be

A researcher was walking through a city market when he came upon a piece of dinosaur tail, encased in amber and preserved for millions of years in all its feathery glory.

Our curator of dinosaurs says it could help settle a debate over how feathers evolved in the first place.

CIL:12375 - http://cellimagelibrary.org/images/12375

Description: Movie showing the dynamics of kinetchore microtubules during meiosis II in primary spermatocytes of the crane-fly Nephrotoma suturalis that were experimentally flattened. Time-lapse polarization microscopy using a Nikon Microphot SA, equipped for liquid crystal polarized light microscopy (LC-PolScope, CRi, Woburn Massachusetts) 60x/1.4 PlanApo oil immersion objective, 1.4 NA oil imm. condenser, with 2.0x zoom lens. Images captured every 15 sec using a QImaging Retigo EXi CCD camera. Raw images were processed using 5-frame algorithm (Shribak and Oldenbourg, 2003). The time series used for the movie is included in this grouped set.
