Dormant human blastoids. Fluorescently labeled for markers of cell wall (white), as well as trophoblast (cyan), epiblast (yellow) and hypoblast (magenta) cells. © Heidar Heidari Khoei/IMBA
Microscopic fluorescence image of a C.tropicalis mother worm. The worm carries eggs loaded with a toxin (red) which is expressed from a Toxin-Antidote selfish genetic element only when it was maternally inherited. © Pinelopi Pliota/IMBA
Multi-chambered cardioids can be cultured in high-throughput in different combinations. Atrial organoid in cyan, left ventricular organoid in grey, right ventricular organoid in magenta. Scale bar is 500 micrometers. © Alison Deyett/ IMBA 
Microscopy image of the CHOOSE system in a human brain organoid. Left half: Confocal image of a CHOOSE (CRISPR-human organoids-scRNA-seq) human brain organoid mosaic system showing cells carrying a mutation in red. Right half: a mosaic depiction of different colors representing single cells, each carrying a mutation in one high-confidence autism gene. © Knoblich Lab
Human blastoid fluorescently labeled for markers of tight junctions (yellow), adherence junctions (magenta), and apical domain (cyan). © Rivron/Nature/IMBA
An egg chamber of a Drosophila melanogaster ovary expressing Nxf3 tagged with GFP (in green). Nxf3 localizes to piRNA source loci the nucleus as well as piRNA processing sites in the cytoplasm. DNA is stained in blue, while the nuclear pore marker (WGA) is in magenta. ©

Kaleidoscope Wallpapers

About the kaleidoscope visuals

Through this collection of visuals, scientific data is transformed into a visual language that invites curiosity at the point where objective data meets human perception. A kaleidoscope creates rhythm from one fragment, drawn from research group diagrams, fluorescence microscopy, and model organisms, which is mirrored time and again to produce predictable cycles of symmetry, like petals around a center, triangular wedges, or rotating star patterns. You will see this repetition of geometric shapes and colors throughout the report. Produced by the Gentlemen Creatives.
