Hah thats actually quite the leap. And now the question becomes...wats inside the cell?
Or is that picture that the article has up an actual photo of a cell? Or in any way related to the article? Somehow, wasn't expecting the inside of the cell to look so complex.
AHH!! my puny brain can't handle the possibilities!!!
Ah, that's a C. elegans, everyone's favorite test nematode (as spied on the MIT website)... about 250 microns long. My understanding is that the colors represent different phases in this 2D computed slice of the 3D animal. There's an implicit assumption that each phase is a different cellular structure.
That's cool that they don't need dyes (like confocal microscopy) and can image semi-transparent objects in near-real-time (1/10 second).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
