Tardigrade. 13 May 2026. Tidewater, Mid-Atlantic. (Video)

We collected some green moss from the edge of our garden pond and left it soaking in water overnight. The next day, we put a drop of the water on a microscope slide and examined it. It wasn't long before we found tardigrades moving through the sample (among other small organisms). Watching them up close was mesmerizing and one of the most remarkable moments I've had!

Have you ever seen a tick via microscope? Here's your chance to see the tick that was on me earlier today.

Two photos and two animated GIF. In one of the GIF you can see it unexpectedly move like the fricking facehugger in Alien*. Anyway. I won. As is shown in the second photo.

*probably didn't help that I accidentally prepared the slide with human-safe-eyedrops instead of alcohol..

A fascinating collection of vintage microscopes. Some serious steampunk vibes from all that brasswork! Inside an abandoned medical research institute, somewhere in Portugal.

Picture of a tardigrade (water bear) I took through a microscope for my studies a couple of years ago.

Great work from our PhD student Bea for her talk at the #LifeSciencePhDmeeting on neuronal population growth dynamics in #organoids. And congratulations to our Master student Lara for winning the best picture award. There were also amazing poster contributions from our lab members.
