"You don't need to understand anything about these images, just tell me whether you think they're nice." Obviously, we do. These brilliant Green Fluorescent Protein expression images (LIN-14 GFP) are found on Yang Hong's home page, and document work in developmental genetics at the Victor Ambros Lab at Dartmouth College, Department of Biological Sciences. "Please keep in mind that what you're seeing are not cells, but nuclei. . . . These images were taken by a CCD camera hooked up to a Zeiss DIC microscope."
