A short video that I made about the embryonic development of the likeable Drosophila, also known as fruit fly or vinegar fly, won an honorable mention in the Small World in Motion.
The details on the techniques I used and the video on its full resolution are available for download and re-use on the Wikimedia Commons.
Here is how a typical session of imaging embryos under Lightsheet Microscopy goes. A glimpse into my day-to-day work :)
Assemble the incubation chamber:
Collect and mount the embryos:
Acquire a short timelapse from multiple angles:
Transfer (lots of) data for image processing ;)
Recently, I had the honor to be interviewed for the Portrait of Science. It’s a beautiful project created by Magdalena Gonciarz to get to know the people who do science (aka the scientists). Check out the project’s Facebook page!
