Autofluorescence from a flower stigma shown in different combinations depending on an overlay of different emission filters.

Images captured on a Zeiss AxioImager Z.1 using a 10x 0.45NA lens and tiling with z stacks. Tiles merged in Zeiss Zen software, then stack projections, channel overlays and renders in Fiji (www.fiji.sc).

I caught this housefly and decided to do something useful with my microscope. This is taken at about 40X magnification. I would like someone versed in fly biology to explain the parts showing. It certainly appears that the fly is angry with me and is about to devour me. Unfortunately, it died later on in my photo analysis project so no further damage to the onlookers was done.

This is some orange thread under a magnification I don't know how to calculate.

I suspect the optics in the microscope are not so good, hence the quality. DoF? Yeah, right.

actually this maggot turned out to be infected by a parasitic wasp.

Confocal microscopy! These are thymocytes I induced to go into apoptosis (programmed cell death) by irradiation.

Blue = TO-PRO-3, a nuclear dye

Red = annexinV, a marker of early apoptotic cells

Green = our transgenic autoantibody, which we are trying to characterize
