Micrograph of developing bone (ossification) in a bird. The image was collected at 200x using brightfield illumination. Honorable Mention, 2011 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition®.

Scanning electron micrograph of two human bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) crawling over crystals of the ceramic material,. monetite (CaHPO4). Monetite crystals are electrochemically deposited onto ti...

This scanning electron micrograph shows mycroplasma (colorized pink), a genus of bacteria that lack a cell wall. Without a cell wall they are unaffected by many common antibiotics, such as penicillin,...

Confocal micrograph of osteoblast cells labeled with Alexafluor 488 that stains alpha tubulin (green) and phalloidin marking the actin (purple) and DAPI highlighting the nucleus (yellow). Osteoblasts...

This colorized scanning electron micrograph shows the structure of osteocyte cells in the cortex of a mouse tibia bone. Osteocytes are the cells that form new bone. Imbedding the bone in resin, which ...
