For this #FluorescenceFriday, we're excited to share the winning images of our latest contest. Stay tuned! #microscopy

🥇place: Farshid Gh The white matter (dark area in this image) within the cerebellum is called Tree of Life, and is covered by a three-layered cortex. Inner➡️outer: 1) Granular layer in green; 2) Purkinje cell layer; and 3) Molecular layer in red/purplish. #FluorescenceFriday

🥈place: Christian Humphreys The image depicts HEK293T cells stained to label pannexin 2 (blue), wheat germ agglutinin (a plasma membrane marker, green) and calnexin (an ER marker, red), to visualize which cellular compartments pannexin 2 expresses. #FluorescenceFriday

🥉place: Rebecca Twilley Using magnified analysis of the proteome (MAP) an expansion microscopy technique which increases resolution 4x, this image shows pre- and post-synaptic proteins located in sub-synaptic domains of hippocampus neurons. #FluorescenceFriday
