The Art of Science

Australian scientific photographer, Linnea Rundgren brings a very unique perspective to nature photography on the micro and nano scale by use of tools such as x-ray machines and high powered light and electron-scanning microscopes.

One of her outstanding photos has been awarded one of the top 10 Australian scientific images from 2012. This photo shows a single neuron and the effect that an amyloid peptide plaque has upon it. Amyloid peptide is believed to attribute to the cause of neural degeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease. The neuron shown was coated in platinum to produce the contrast and color at 3200x magnification.
