Is there a pattern of how they arrange in the drop or have I been staring through the microscope for far toooo long? 🧐😁#beautifulembryos

As a biologist, we have to often choose colors and the way of representation of data..but Pierre-Joseph Redouté’s plant illustrations are amazing and Nicholas Rougeux's collation and post processing and representation of data is beautiful! Lots of amazing stuff! check here - www.c82.net/work/

Such an important way of progressing in any scientific question, yet so undervalued!

Early mouse morula!
Almost two years ago, I imaged my very first mouse embryo and since then I haven’t gotten over the funny apical domains (cyan)😍 nostalgic :)
This beauty was part of the first immunostaining, I did when I joined the lab! #fluoroscentfriday

First snow of the year!! For someone who was used to 30 degrees all year along, snowing is special❄️🌨️ I will try to work today😉

Hatching blastocyst!
When you fix the embryos wayyyy later than you wanted to, because you got caught up;) still a beautiful one though 😉☺️

Fun movie of the cell surface of mouse morula. Jiggly protrusions, now the task of quantifying them💪 Any suggestions!?
