Triple marking of a rat hippocampus neuron, observed using full-field fluorescence imaging. The transferrin receptor is marked in green. Transferrin is a protein synthesised by the liver and involved in transporting iron. In red, the surface marking of the GluA1 sub-unit of the AMPA-type receptors activated by glutamate. In blue, the surface marking of the GluA2 sub-unit of the same receptors. Note the near-perfect co-location of the GluA1 and GluA2 sub-units (in magenta) that are part of the same receptor, while the transferrin receptors are located differently.

Our work is guided by the way scientists question the world around them and we translate their research into images to help people to understand the world better and to awaken their curiosity and wonderment.
