In 3rd place of our Microscopy Competition, Yue Su (@Moran_MirabalRG ) takes the prize for her impressive confocal image of a cellulose aerogel, showing its 3D architecture and connecting pores. The aerogel is made of cellulose nanocrystals covalently labelled with Cy5.
The image was acquired with a 10X/0.45 objective using a Nikon A1R inverted confocal microscope, with the scale bar representing 100 µm.
Congratulations Megan Vierhout on winning 2nd place for her stunning confocal image of a precision-cut lung slice! The tissue was exposed to a cocktail treatment to stimulate a disease-like environment and 6 different immune cell markers were visualized using IBEX @MacImmunology
Aidee Arizpe Tafoya wins 1st place @aideearizpe @Moran_MirabalRG with a beautiful image of human lung fibroblasts that have been cultured on a hydrogel tissue model, where the expression of F-actin (yellow) and α-SMA (magenta) suggests their differentiation into myofibroblasts.
This image was taken with an inverted line scanning confocal microscope (Nikon A1R) using a 40X/1.25 water-immersion objective. Congratulations on winning first place, Aidee!
The final results for our 2024 C2Discover Microscopy Competition are in! We would like to thank the jury panel and everyone who participated in the public vote for helping us choose the winners, and a huge thanks to all the students who shared their stunning microscopy images!

Our 50th anniversary meeting is off to an amazing start with our plenary speaker, Dr. James Weaver, presenting their work on the imaging of biological architectures and 3D-printing of biologically-inspired structures. Thank you for the fascinating images and 3D models!
Earlier this week we had the great pleasure of receiving students from @MMRobinsonHS for some fun microscopy activities! We looked at all sorts of samples that ranged from individual cells and their organelles, to tissue sections and whole organisms.
A HUGE thanks to @NikonInst, Ryan Belowitz, the School of Interdisciplinary Science, @ltsmcmaster, Julia Ungureanu and @Moran_MirabalRG for volunteering their time and providing us with the microscopes, space and very cool samples that made this a fantastic outreach event!
