    C. elegans showing internal structures

    6961

    An image of Caenorhabditis elegans, a tiny roundworm, showing internal structures including the intestine, pharynx, and body wall muscle. C. elegans is one of the simplest organisms with a nervous system. Scientists use it to study nervous system development, among other things. This image was captured with a quantitative orientation-independent differential interference contrast (OI-DIC) microscope. The scale bar is 100 µm.

    More information about the microscopy that produced this image can be found in the Journal of Microscopy paper “An Orientation-Independent DIC Microscope Allows High Resolution Imaging of Epithelial Cell Migration and Wound Healing in a Cnidarian Model” by Malamy and Shribak.
    Public NoteThe elongated body of a worm with variously shaped structures inside.

    Hi Rachel,

    I am wondering if you would be interesting to add to your gallery the attached image of C. elegans. The photo was captured with quantitative orientation-independent differential interference contrast. The scale bar is 100 µm.

    You can also consider adding a video of trapped C. elegans worm https://figshare.com/articles/media/Caenorhabditis_elegans/15046812

    Thank you for your consideration, Michael

    InvestigatorA high-resolution, label-free optical section of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans captured with quantitative orientation-independent differential interference contrast (OI-DIC) microscope. C. elegans is a model organism for investigation primarily of development of the nervous system in animals. It is one of the simplest organisms with a nervous system. The image clearly shows internal organs of the worm, such as intestine, body wall muscle, and pharynx. The scale bar is 100 µm.

    More information about the microscopy that produced this image can be found in the Journal of Microscopy paper “An Orientation-Independent DIC Microscope Allows High Resolution Imaging of Epithelial Cell Migration and Wound Healing in a Cnidarian Model” by Malamy and Shribak. OI-DIC was invented at the MBL and has been developed with support of NIGMS grant R01 GM101701.
