🏆 Images from #mdcBerlin received top honors in the @helmholtzimaging.bsky.social “Best Scientific Image Contest”!

Jury Award for @janakroll.bsky.social, Daumke Lab
Public Choice Award for Dr. Rafael Deliz Aguirre, @coscialab.bsky.social

Excitation
This image captures a mouse hippocampal neuron surrounded by numerous extensions that connect to other neurons via synapses. The cultured cell is equipped with a yellow fluorescent sensor for the neurotransmitter glutamate, which is normally used at room temperature. In this case, the image was captured at -170 °C using CFcryo-EM (Core Facility for Cryo–Electron Microscopy).
Image: Dr. Jana Kroll, Daumke Lab

Starfish Puts Motion Back in the Ocean
This image shows starfish embryos that are only a few days old, using their tiny tentacles to create currents that visually and mathematically reflect the Earth’s magnetic field. The living embryo on the left of the image – unlike the immobile, dead embryo on the right – is actively shaping its fluid environment. The image was captured using bright-field microscopy and fluorescent particles.
