Nikon Small World in Motion Competition – zebrafish development takes first place!
Posted by the Node, on 4 October 2018
The winners of Nikon’s Small World in Motion 2018 Competition have just been announced, and overall first place has gone to a stunning developmental biology SPIM movie.
Watch Elizabeth Haynes and Jiaye “Henry” He’s “Zebrafish embryo growing its elaborate sensory nervous system (visualized over 16 hours of development)“, and marvel!
Developmental biology also made it to the 2018 competition’s ‘Honorable Mentions’ . Here’s Tessa Montague’s “Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg recently fertilized by sperm (sped up ~10x)”
I’ll also claim Guray Dere’s “Stinkbug (shieldbug) eggs hatching” as realtime developmental biology!
Developmental biology also took the crown in previous years:
2017 1st place
Daniel von Wangenheim
“Live-tracking of a growing root tip of Arabidopsis thaliana, over a period of 17 hours”
2014 1st place
Mariana Muzzopappa and Jim Swoger
The development of the zebrafish lateral line, the organ that senses water movements in the fish.
2013 1st place
Gabriel Martins
Quail Embryo at 10 Day Incubation (3D reconstruction)
2011 1st place
Anna Franz
