Small World in Motion

This is a clip of neutrophils recruiting to the site of laser damage in mouse inguinal lymph node, taken and submitted by Dr. Olena Kamenyeva at National Institute of Health (NIH). Neutrophils are a type of white blood cells, part of your immune system, which travel to aid any part of your body under attack whether physical, chemical, bacterial, or viral. It won first place for last year's competition for Nikon's Small World in Motion Competition. I must admit; I am a sucker for pretty visualizations. And, while I was watching this, I found myself asking 'Can they do this using Brainbow, too?'

I mean, this is awesome. But that will be awesome possum.
