On 10/23/19 at 7:08 AM EDTA stunning photograph of a fluorescent turtle embryo under a microscope has scooped the top prize in this year's Nikon Small World photomicrography competition, which celebrates photographs taken of objects under a microscope in a meeting of science and art.
Zgoda and Kugler used a combination of fluorescence and stereoscopy techniques to capture their vibrant image of the turtle embryo. The final image is the result of a process called image-stitching, in which the winning photomicrographers stacked and stitched hundreds of images of various parts of the embryo to create the composite image."We placed the turtle embryo in a petri dish and autofluorescence was photographed using three wavelengths of light.
The second-place image is of three stentors—or single-cell freshwater protozoans—using a projection technique that color-coded different parts of the stentors by depth. The photograph was captured by Igor Siwanowicz, a veteran of the Small World competition.Igor Siwanowicz/Nikon Small World

How Elizabeth Strout Brought Cantankerous Olive Kitteridge Back AgainEleven years after the publication of “Olive Kitteridge,” Elizabeth Strout’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel, Olive is back in a sequel. Looking forward to it, was so disappointed in her subsequent books. The quality of writing had tanked. Just finished re-reading the first book and reading the sequel. Thanks for the post. I don’t love Olive because she says what she thinks, although I mostly admire that, I love her because she admits to the truth about herself, and sometimes it’s not pretty.
