A range of images demonstrating the increased macro effect of using my standard 18-55mm Canon lens with a set of macro extension tubes. Pictures are all of a set of six chicken embryos at various stages in their development, encased and preserved in acrylic.
Note the brain vesicles in the head, the heart, the eye and the developing limbs. Developmental biology lab - chicken embryo anatomy.
I've had these water images up for some time; however, I didn't include any information regarding the subject matter or the methods used to create the shots. So, even though no one has asked for the information . . . here it is anyway :-).
General Information:
If you have read this part in one of the other "water" images: you can skip down to Image-Specific Information: because this is the same stuff.
For the most part, the water images are the reverse of the "water drop" images in high-speed photography. Instead of droplets spreading out into the air after bouncing off the top surface of water, these images show air pockets spreading out through water after an object has penetrated the surface.
The shooting perspective is an underwater view of the water's top surface (actually the under side of the water's top surface). Interestingly, due to the angle, the images actually look more natural when viewed upside down (which is how they are displayed here).
Another interesting effect of the shooting angle is how the under-surface of the water acts like a mirror. The under-surface reflects the surroundings --as determine by angle of incidence-- with such great efficiency that light above the water is virtually invisible until an object penetrates the water's surface --at which point, the disruption acts like a sort of "wormhole" to the top, allowing light from above to travel through the water and reflect off the surfaces of the air pockets created by the falling object.
Finally, another cool effect is the multitude of reflective surfaces created by the air pockets and the ripples after an object breaks the water's surface. By placing colored gels outside the initial angle of view, the new surfaces created by air pockets were able to reflect different colors of light. Additionally, disruptions at the water's surface occasionally allows light from above to travel through the "wormhole" and reflect off of the surfaces created underwater.
The color in these images results from the reflection of colored gels and/or colored paper placed at various points around the set, not from Photoshop.
Image-Specific Information:
I've got to be honest: I'm not entirely sure of what this is. I know it was from dropping an acrylic ball into the water, but I'm not sure if this is just an empty air pocket, or if it is an air envelope surrounding the acrylic ball. The shape and size suggest that the ball may be inside, but all the reflections on the outer surface make it impossible to see if there's actually anything there.
A red gel was used to reflect color from the under-surface of the water, the rest of the water is transmitting light from the white diffuser in front of the micro-flash. A number of white reflectors were positioned in front of the water container, while a bright yellow reflector was positioned off to the left.

I was in Embryo yesterday, and found this delicious flower wreath get up. I couldn't help but put it on with my broken wings from Catnip and shoot some photos right there and then. I think it looks like an angel, fallen into a patch of thorns.

I had a friend who went to Mexico for several months and, while there, she asked how to say "Right on!". Someone told her "Huevos". So basically Liz spent a few months yelling "eggs" at everyone!

Transverse section of Danio rerio. The transverse section is located in rhombomere 5, which is defined as the hindbrain. This stain (DAPI and Phalloidin) is a visual tool that highlights the nucleus of each cell (blue) as well as the surrounding membrane filaments (green). This section is a great educational tool as it shows different cell "anatomies."

Mature Arabidopsis thaliana seed sections of 1 μM, stained with calcofluor-white and Auramine O. Observation was done with fluorescent widefield microscope with DAPI filter. Pictures were taken with a colour camera at 400x magnification. Image treatment was done using Fiji and Lightroom.
The fineness of this section, coupled with a staining specific to structures containing cellulose, thus bringing to light cell walls, allows to precisely understand the internal architecture of the seed.
Nowadays, comprehension of plant development is a major challenge. Complications related to food-processing industry and the increase of people on earth are serious problems for which scientists absolutely must find solutions. Studying seed can become a foundation in the progress of agriculture, regarding their characteristics, such as germination time for example, which could help increase yields on a time scale.

These embryos (approx. 150 microns in diameter) were at the 8 cell stage inside an intact egg mass laid by the aeolid nudibranch Phidiana hiltoni (from Cayucos, California). Taken through an Olympus compound microscope with the condenser rotated slightly to give a Nomarski-like 3-D effect.

A Balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. They are often served with beer. The Filipino and Malay word balut (balot) roughly translates to mean wrapped.
Balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt, though some balut-eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg. The eggs are savored for their balance of textures and flavors; the broth surrounding the embryo is sipped from the egg before the shell is peeled and the yolk and young chick inside can be eaten. All of the contents of the egg are consumed. In the Philippines, balut have recently entered higher cuisine by being served as appetizers in restaurants: cooked adobo style, fried in omelettes or even used as filling in baked pastries.
Balut-making is not native to the Philippines. A similar preparation is known in China as maodan, and Chinese traders and migrants are said to have brought the idea of eating fertilized duck eggs to the Philippines. However, the knowledge and craft of balut-making has been localized by the balut-makers (mangbabalut). Today, balut production has not been mechanized in favor of the traditional production by hand. Although balut are produced throughout the Philippines, balut-makers in Pateros are renowned for their careful selection and incubation of the eggs.
Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold, and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand, used to retain warmth, and are accompanied by small packets of salt. Uncooked balut are rarely sold in Southeast Asia. In the United States, many Asian markets occasionally carry uncooked balut eggs, though their demand in North America is not very great. The cooking process is identical to that of hard-boiled chicken eggs, and baluts are enjoyed while still warm.
Duck eggs that are not properly developed after nine to twelve days are sold as penoy, which look, smell and taste similar to a regular hard-boiled egg. In Filipino cuisine, these are occasionally beaten and fried, similar to scrambled eggs, and served with a vinegar dip.
The age of the egg before it can be cooked is a matter of local preference. In the Philippines, the perfect balut is 17 days old, at which point it is said to be balut sa puti (wrapped in white). The chick inside is not old enough to show its beak, feathers or claws and the bones are undeveloped. The Vietnamese prefer their balut matured from 19 days up to 21 days, when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked. In Cambodia, most people prefer to eat it while it is still warm in its shell. Served with nothing more than a little garnish, it is widely popular. Usually, it is accompanied by a mixture of lime juice and ground pepper.
To get pregnant, we relagated ourselves to the IVF process. This is a picture of the fertilized eggs after 5 days, just before they were inserted into Ellen. We put 2 in the fridge and 2 in the oven.
