Metabolomic Eye
Using a technique called computational molecular phenotyping (CMP), neuroscientist Bryan William Jones at the University of Utah depicts the diversity of cells inside a mouse eye retina. CMP maps different kinds of tissue by measuring concentrations of common organic molecules, in this case using antibodies that stained against taurine (red), glutamine (green) and glutamate (blue). The image, which captures both anatomical context and a view of normal tissue functioning, won Jones first place in photography in the 2011 International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge, sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the journal Science.
