After an amazing turnout for our first social media image contest, we decided to hold another. We asked our followers on LinkedIn and Twitter to submit their most eye-catching tissue images, and they did not disappoint. Our judges had a tough time choosing the top three winning images. Check out their picks and the scientists behind them.
Sarah Nersesian, MSc, Dalhousie University
Sarah is currently a PhD candidate at Dalhousie University. She captured this image at 20X and re-created it digitally in collaboration with David Edgar, a talented young artist who suddenly passed away in July. The image is of tonsil tissue stained with CD16a, CD56, CD94, CD68, CD3, PacnCk, and DAPI using Opal™ reagents, the Mantra™ Quantitative Pathology Workstation, and inForm® software.

Aaron Rozeboom, PhD, Georgetown University
This vibrant image is of a section of normal adjacent colon. Aaron stained the tissue with active beta-Catenin, CD25, CD3, CD45RO, AXL and panMelanoma using Opal dyes. The slide was imaged at 40x with the Vectra® 3 imaging system. Images were unmixed with inForm software.
