    Trigonium diatom

    6962

    A Trigonium diatom imaged by a quantitative orientation-independent differential interference contrast (OI-DIC) microscope. Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic algae with mineralized cell walls that contain silica and provide protection and support. These organisms form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. The width of this image is 90 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.

    Dear Abbey,

    Please find attached descriptions of the C. elegans image and video. The high-resolution versions can be downloaded from the UChicago Box,https://uchicago.box.com/s/wy578zktblou3ubelv3tf9pp174g7db1 You should get an invitation.

    Would be the label-free image of diatom Trigonium acceptable for the NIGMS Image Gallery? https://www.mbl.edu/news/mbl-image-takes-1st-place-2022-photo-contest-optics-photonics-news

    Thank you, Michael

    InvestigatorA high-resolution, label-free optical section of the diatom Trigonium captured with quantitative orientation-independent differential interference contrast (OI-DIC) microscope. Diatoms are single-celled photosynthetic algae, of which there are about 100,000 species. They have mineralized cell walls (frustules) that contain silica and provide protection and support. The diatoms form an important part of the plankton at the base of the marine and freshwater food chains. The image width is 90 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 Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, MA) and has been developed with support of NIGMS grant R01 GM101701.
