Caption

Chloroplasts decorating cells in thale cress (arabidopisis thaliana), observed using confocal microscopy. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place. In a cell, chloroplasts appear green, but they also emit (by fluorescence) light in the red part of the spectrum. Here, scientists are studying the division of these cell organelles, which are found only in plants.

CNRS Images,

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.
