This amazing photo of a sea star's nervous system has won the Life Science Photo of the Year.
The global winning image was taken by Laurent Formery . Nervous system of a juvenile sea star about 1 cm wide. Labeled with an antibody against acetylated tubulin after optical clearing, and captured using a color-coded Z-projectionis an annual competition that recognizes the best in scientific imaging worldwide, and a fabulous photo of the nervous system of a sea star has taken home the top prize.
The competition serves to encourage people around the world to look at scientific images in a new way, appreciate their beauty, and share images with others. This year’s winners were selected from 640 images submitted from 38 countries. The photo above, which was selected as the global winner, was captured by Laurent Formery and showcases the nervous system of a juvenile sea star . The starfish is incredibly small — only about one centimeter across — and was labeled with an antibody against acetylated tubulin after optical clearing and captured using a color-coded Z-projection.
“This is a fantastic feeling,” Formery says of his win. “Two years ago, I won an honorable mention from IOTY. Winning the global award feels like an incredible achievement and shows I made progress. I love microscopy and can spend a huge amount of time in front of our confocal microscope, but the very nice samples that I am lucky to work with really make the difference. I work with marine invertebrates, in particular echinoderms .
