Gold nanoparticles intracellular distribution
MDA-MB231 human cancer breast cells treated with gold nanopaticles (size: 15 nm diameter). The intracellular distribution of the gold nanoparticles (bright white in the video) has been imaged with Nanolive for 16 hours..

Human spinal cord and column anatomy by synchrotron X-ray 3D neuroimaging
Illustration of the main results of the research project on the investigation of the human spinal cord and column anatomy by synchrotron X-ray 3D neuroimaging: first the high resolution computed tomography data (46^3 μm^3 voxel size) and 3D rendering of an extended Thiel-embalmed human spinal column specimen, followed by the computed tomography data (8^3 μm^3 voxel size) and 3D rendering of a portion of a formalin-fixed human spinal cord specimen. Images acquired at the Medical Beamline ID17, ESRF, Grenoble, France.
