National Quaker Week, 4-12 October 20098. Visit Quaker Week microsite for more details.
Sorry about the pop-up ads! My site is hosted free, so please just scroll down... Welcome to my Science and Art page, which will demonstrate, hopefully, that scientific images can be artistic and beautiful. In my work I
make use of techniques that depend upon microscopy, revealing things that can only be seen at high magnification. The things
that you see here have been stained carefully using various techniques to make them easier to see with a microscope.
If you are interested in artistic science images, have a look at the Nikon Small World website. This shows some amazing images produced by microscopists around the world. Thanks for visiting! This page is updated from time to time, so please come back later, give me feedback on what you see here, and ask questions. Click on any image to see a larger version.
Bacteria labelled with a DNA probe and a green fluorescent label, making them easy to see in a tissue section.

Here are some photos of snowflakes which I captured a few years ago, using a digital camera and an ordinary light microscope. |

Cells in the pituitary gland stained for a protein called S-100. Cells can can be identified using antibodies to the proteins that they produce, a method known as immunocytochemistry. See my pituitary page. |

Fat deposits in liver stained red with Oil Red O (cell nuclei are blue). |

Bacteria glowing green with a fluorescent stain. Cell nuclei are stained blue (with DAPI). |
