The twelfth Nikon Small World in Motion contest saw hundreds of accounting entry from all over the existence . A baby to theNikon Small World Photomicrography Competition , both reward skill and excellency in telecasting and picture taking under the microscope .
The picture portion encompasses any picture show or digital time - lapse photography taken through the microscope , opening up novel ideas to the consultation and , of course , impressing the panel of judges . The ingress are judged on originality , technical acquisition , informational depicted object , and visual encroachment .
This year ’s achiever is Dr Eduardo E. Zattara for his incredible time - relapsing of neuronic tip cell migrate in a zebrafish fertilized egg , which you’re able to control out below . Highlighting the active discipline of evolutionary developmental biology , sensory organ primogenitor ( color in gullible ) migrate along the sidelong line of thezebrafishembryo . The orange tree cells , melanocyte , also move to make their net positions below the zebrafish ’s hide .
“ This recording came out very clean and require almost no post - processing . It is an astonishing display of the dynamics of neuronic crest cell migration , ” say Zattara in a statement seen by IFLScience .
“ The result was a video that was both biologically informative and visually striking . "
Second place was award to Dr Christophe Letterier for his 12 - hr time - lapse television of monkey cells . In the video below , you’re able to see the plasma tissue layer labeled in orange and the desoxyribonucleic acid color blue . The challenge here for Letterier , was to keep the cell awake for the prison term frame of reference of the video , with tight contain temperature and humidness as well as minimal phototoxicity from optical maser illumination .
Dr Ahmet Karabulut was awarded third place for his television ( below ) of sea anemone neuron and sting cells showing their dynamical processes .
In full , five top pillage were award to the most telling videos , with several others taking estimable mentions and $ 100 each . See the full gallery of award winnershere .
