Jack Nicholls wins the Young Embryologist Network Image Competition

Congratulations to Jack Nicholls on winning the Young Embryologist Network (YEN) Image competition with his beautiful image of the zebrafish retina.

Jack Nicholls,City St George’s, University of London

Immunohistochemistry of an 8-day post-fertilisation larval zebrafish retina stained with anti-ChAT in red (star burst amacrine cells), anti-PKCα in green (ON bipolar cells) and grey (photoreceptors), with a DAPI counterstain. The anti-PKCα signal was manually separated into the bipolar and photoreceptor cell regions and coloured in green and grey to highlight the boundary between the two layers. Imaged on a LSM800 confocal microscope.
