No, this isn’t a banana!

For today's #MicroscopyMonday, we have a confocal image of a parasitoid wasp egg, filled with a symbiotic bacterium.

Imaged by student Loretha Jack during the 2026 Molecular and Cell Biology of Symbiosis course.

This beautiful #MicroscopyMonday shows how maternal regulation governs early embryonic development by coordinating gene expression in both time and space to direct proper embryonic growth. 🔬 (@bazzinilab.bsky.social Lab) #SciSky

Happy #MicroscopyMonday everyone!

This award-winning image is from Sarah and features the apical turn of a neonatal mouse cochlea. 🐭👂 AAV-GFP is shown in the green channel 💚 while phalloidin dye shows the actin-based structures of the cochlea in magenta 💜

Very happy to share my postdoc paper is out now in @natcellbio.nature.com titled "Tissue flow acts as a guidance cue for immune cell polarization and directional migration". If you love imaging and immune cells, this is for you! #microscopymonday
