Mitotic Waves video wins Small World in Motion

My video of mitotic waves won Nikon’s 2024 Small World in Motion video competition! I’m thrilled 🎉

To learn more about the video, check out Nikon’s press release and their article for the series Masters of Microscopy.

There’s also a blog post that I wrote a couple of years ago with some biological information and technical details about how I created the video.

If you are wondering about the size of the embryo and how fast it really develops, there’s a version with a scale bar and time label on YouTube and available for download and re-use on Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks for your support :)
