Each year, Nikon’s Small World in Motion Video Competition celebrates the intersection between science and art by recognizing microscopy videos that stand out for their originality, informational content, technical proficiency and visual impact. Nikon Instruments Inc. has now unveiled the winners of the 12th annual Small World in Motion competition, with the first prize awarded to Dr. Eduardo E. Zattara of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET) in Argentina for his brightfield and confocal fluorescence microscopy video of neural crest cell migration in a developing zebrafish embryo. The time-lapse video, captured over an eight-hour time period with 20X objective lens magnification, “highlights the beautiful and dynamic study of evolutionary developmental biology,” Nikon officials said in a statement.
