To illustrate the research area of muscular dystrophy, The magazine has decided to decorate their August 2011 cover with a color SEM image, depicting Mouse skeletal muscle fibres.
The image was prepared and captured by Micronaut in collaboration with Markus Ruegg's lab at the Biocenter, University of Basel, Switzerland... read more.
Napoleon's killer revealed
Helicobacter pylori is a bacterial pathogen involved in gastric cancer. The species' helix shape facilitates penetration into the mucoid lining of the stomach.Recent research states that it shares a common past with modern humans for over 60'000 years. Historical data further suggests French Emperor Napoleon (1769-1821) as the most famous victim of this pathogen.

'Image of the month' - June 2011
The new image of the month on Micronaut.ch shows the surface of a mosquito egg (Culex pipiens). European mosquitoes lay their water-repellent eggs directly onto the water surface, where they form large aggregations ('egg-rafts'). To avoid drowning, the eggs are equipped with a spectacular looking superhydrophobic surface. High-tech designed by nature... enjoy!
New Apprentice...
Cleo (-patra) eagerly follows any movements of the cursor, during the coloration process. Ready to catch unsuspecting prey, no matter how small (actually, the image section I was working on at that time, was magnified more than 8'000-times).
Mosquito pupae
Together with the most recent images, also the mosquito pupae can now be found in our newly updated insect section. See online gallery at Micronaut.ch
