Image Of The MonthThe 2007 IN Cell Analyzer™ Image Competition received 84 stunning entries from more than 10 countries. Submitted images covered a wide range of applications, including cancer, neurology, cardiology, drug discovery, assay development, neurodegenerative diseases and many more. One of the winning images was selected by a scientific panel, and the other by a popular vote. The winners have been awarded with a trip to New York to see their images displayed at Times Square. Each month we will feature one of the many exceptional images submitted by our customers to the IN Cell Image Competition, 2007. In addition to seeing these stunning images, you can also read what the exceptional scientists behind these images have to say about their research and the valuable role that IN Cell Analyzer plays in their work.
November 2008
Connla Edwards and Anthony Davies of the Institute of Molecular Medicine at Trinity College, Dublin entered this month's featured image, which was very popular in the IN Cell Image Competition web vote. The image shows rat cardiac myocytes in an assay development study in the area of cardiac muscle cell health. |

About our image: The High Content Facility is part of the Institute of Molecular Medicine at Trinity College. It plays a central role in numerous national and international research projects and is considered as an international centre of excellence for technical expertise and advanced training within the high content imaging field. We service a wide range of applications, from siRNA screening and nano-biology, through to numerous studies in the areas of immunity and infectious diseases. We previously did a lot of Western blotting, but started working with the IN Cell Analyzer around three years ago. The IN Cell Analyzer has been very beneficial, as it has been used across multiple research areas and has provided a stable research platform that enables standardization of data across a large number of projects. Using the IN Cell Analyzer for HCA studies provides us with more informative data and quicker turn around times than we could get using previous methods. I especially value the fact that the IN Cell is so easy to use. The featured image comes from a study that aimed to develop assays for visual indicators of cardiac cell health/damage. Rat cardiac myocytes were stained for nuclei, actin and tubulin, giving us a parallel readout of mutiple cell health indicators. Using the IN Cell Analyzer provides us with a means to conduct large scale experiments quickly, with a high level of reproducibility. I think it is great that our image has been featured on the web and in the calendar and poster! Entering the In Cell Analyzer Image Competition has given us the chance to highlight and promote our work. As an internationally recognized centre for high content imaging, it is good that we can showcase some of the images we produce in this way. Anthony Davies |
