  • Healthy adult human brain viewed from below, tractography
  • Cellular architecture of normal human skin imaged by whole mount tissue microscopy. Human skin has a rich network of white blood cells (specifically dendritic cells, T cells and macrophages) which form sheaths around blood vessels. This image was taken less than 20 micrometres beneath the junction that joins the dermal and epidermal layers of the skin (dermo-epidermal junction). At this level, dendritic cells (stained for CD11c; green) form clusters around and between blood capillary loops (stained for CD31; red). The blind-ended tips of initial lymphatic vessels are just visible (stained for LYVE-1; blue) at this level. This normal cellular architecture is grossly disrupted in diseased skin (see related images). Scale bar (white) represents 200 micrometres.
  • Brain astrocyte cell taking up carbon nano-needles, SEM
  • Crab apples (Malus sylvestris) otherwise known as the European apple are a small variety of apple commonly used for the production of jam and wine. They have the reputation of being sour, and therefore do not tend to be eaten raw.
  • Highly invasive human paediatric brain tumour derived cells
  • Rat neurones, SEM
  • Acacia melanoxolon
  • Bacterial microbiome mapping, bioartistic experiment
  • Broccoli floret
  • Cortical bone mapping of hip from computed tomography
  • Kidney stone
  • Situs inversus, illustration
  • Woodlouse, SEM
  • Varicose Veins, Legs. Female. Illustrated with thermography
  • Spore tubes on mushroom (unknown species)
  • Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) stem, SEM
  • Emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) beetle
  • Ginkgo leaf
  • Cellular architecture of human skin lymphoma imaged by whole mount tissue microscopy. Normal human skin has a rich network of white blood cells (specifically dendritic cells, T cells and macrophages) which form sheaths around blood vessels. In diseased skin, such as in skin lymphoma as seen here, this normal architecture becomes distorted. In this image, lots of T cells (stained for CD3; red), dendritic cells (stained for CD11c; green) and macrophages (stained for LYVE-1; blue) have infiltrated the skin. X20 magnification. Scale bar (white) represents 100 micrometres.

  • Trillium sessile L. Trilliaceae Distribution: North America. Various Trilliums were used by Native Americans to stop haematuria, haematemesis, menorrhagia, and to heal ulcers (Milspaugh, 1974). Roots were eaten to treat stiff muscles, and tea from the plant drunk and powdered plant put on joints for rheumatism by the Iroquois (Lewis & Elvin-Lewis, 2003). Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.
