Results from the Node postcard competition
Posted by the Node, on 8 June 2023
One of the crowd-favourite giveaways here at the Node is our collection of postcards. With our supplies dwindling, we are planning to reprint some of the postcards, and take this opportunity to add some more #devbio favourites to our collection.
We ran a public vote for the Node postcard competition to select the top four images to be printed on new postcards. The image with the most votes will also be featured on the cover of a ‘Development’ issue in 2023.
We are now delighted to announce the results:
Winner: Xenopus laevis skeleton
The winning image and the following images will be printed on new postcards:
Ventral view maximum intensity projection from an immunofluorescence staining labeling the developing nervous system (primarily nerves and ganglia) of a stage 30 small-spotted catshark embryo (Scyliorhinus canicula). The image was acquired using a ZEISS LSM980 with Airyscan2 confocal microscope, stitched and processed using ZEN software from the same microscope. Credit: E. Escamilla-Vega
This shows heat-fixed Drosophila larvae expressing an infrared fluorescent protein (IFP) in the tracheal system using the Gal4/UAS system. Images were acquired in a confocal microscope (Nikon A1R+) with a 10x objective and using the mosaic modality. Stitching was done using the microscope’s software (Nikon NIS-Elements). The images were Z-projected and pseudocolored in Fiji and further processed using Inkscape. Credit: D. Rios
