Congratulations to the winners
of the Cell-ebrate Science Imaging Contest
We asked scientists in Singapore, Taiwan, and the Southeast Asia region to send us cell images showcasing their research using InvitrogenTM fluorescent reagents, and the submissions were stunning. After careful review by a panel of Thermo Fisher Scientific researchers, all experts in the field of fluorescence microscopy, three winning images were chosen.
Congratulations to our first, second, and third place winners for their brilliant "beautiful science" images.
1st prize winner Jaron Liu, Institute of Medical Biology, Singapore
Filopodia-like protrusions in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells. The nanoscale architecture of filopodialike protrusions in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells was investigated using InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 568 Phalloidin (pseudocolored blue-green) and state-of-the-art super-resolution microscopy. The image was acquired on a DeltaVision OMXTM 3D-SIM with 100x 1.4NA lens, 3 ?m stack, 125 nm per stack, maximum projection, and an image pixel size of 37.5 nm.
2nd prize winner Chan Jia Pei, Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore
Psychedelic cerebrum. A coronal section of a mouse brain was labeled with antibody markers for myelin (green, InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 488 secondary antibody), axons (red, InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 555 secondary antibody), and microglia (magenta, InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 633 secondary antibody); nuclei were stained with HoeschtTM 33342 dye (blue). The fluorescent markers highlight the structure of the cortex, hippocampus, striatum, thalamus, and hypothalamus in this section.
3rd prize winner Jonathan Aow, National University of Singapore, Singapore
GFP-expressing primary hippocampal neuron. Primary hippocampal neurons were cultured for 15 days, transfected with GFP (green), and then fixed and stained 2 days later. Axons were labeled with anti?NF-L antibody and Alexa FluorTM 405 secondary antibody (blue), and the somato dendritic compartment was labeled with anti-MAP2A/B antibody and InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 647 secondary antibody (red); neighboring untransfected neurons are visible. Images were acquired on a ZeissTM LSM700 confocal microscope with a 63x objective.

Enhanced Alexa Fluor secondary antibodies: Higher signal-to-noise ratios for hard-to-detect targets
InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM Plus secondary antibodies are designed to help you detect low-abundance targets in rare or critical samples using fluorescence imaging or western blotting. The Alexa Fluor antibodies you rely on for superior brightness and photostability are now available in an exclusive formulation using proprietary "plus" dye chemistry, which provides up to 4 times higher signal-to-noise ratios. This unique formulation, coupled with stringent pre-adsorption protocols to remove antibodies that bind nonspecifically, enables Alexa Fluor Plus antibodies to offer enhanced sensitivity and minimal cross-reactivity for those challenging samples. See our complete line of Alexa Fluor Plus secondary antibodies at alexafluorplus.
Improved signal-to-noise ratios with Alexa Fluor Plus antibodies reveal greater detail. Fixed and permeabilized E18 Sprague DawleyTM primary cortical neuronal cells were labeled with anti?-III tubulin primary antibody and (A) InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM 488 or (B) InvitrogenTM Alexa FluorTM Plus 488 (Cat. No. A32723) secondary antibodies. Cells were then counterstained with HoechstTM 33342 dye (Cat. No. H3570) and imaged on a ZeissTM LSM 710 inverted confocal microscope at 40x magnification.
Improved formulation for Pierce protease and phosphatase inhibitor tablets
Thermo ScientificTM PierceTM protease and phosphatase inhibitor tablets are ideal for the protection of proteins during extraction procedures or lysate preparation using primary cells, cultured mammalian cells, animal tissues, plant tissues, yeast cells, or bacterial cells.

Performance comparison between three commercially available protease inhibitor tablets. Pancreatic extract (100 L, 0.5 g/L) was incubated with cleavable fluorogenic substrates for trypsin and cysteine proteases, metalloproteases, and cathepsins, in the presence of Thermo ScientificTM PierceTM Protease Inhibitor Mini Tablets (Cat. No. A32953), Roche cOmpleteTM Protease Inhibitor Tablets, and SigmaAldrich SIGMAFASTTM Protease Inhibitor Cocktail Tablets, with and without EDTA. Reactions were incubated for 1 hr at 37?C, and fluorescence was determined at the appropriate detection emissions on a Thermo ScientificTM VarioskanTM Flash microplate reader. Percent protease inhibition is shown for each protease inhibitor formulation.
