"This picture shows a primary cortical culture of a mouse brain,in which astrocytes (red) and neurons (green) are coloured with an immunhistochemical staining. The addition of the thyroidhormone T3 shows a dose-dependent increase of both celltypes. "

"The image shows immunocytochemical stained actin cytoskeleton structures of mouse skeletal muscle cells."

"It is a mouse spleen slide shows marginal zone macrophage (red) B cells (pink) and red pulp (blue)."

Dr. Petra Wester

"A Cape elephant-shrew licks sticky nectar with its long tongue from flowers of the Pagoda lily. Pollen is transferred from the flowers onto the fur of the elephant-shrew’s long nose (see tip of nose) and from the fur to the stigma of the flower (behind the nose). "

"Science is not colorful. It means hard work at the late hours. During the weekend. Resulting graphs are plain black on white background. Knowledge may increase by interpreting these. Fulfilling."

"There is an increase in the population affected by antibiotic resistant bacteria which has now resulted in finding alternative pharmaceutical compounds that can act as potential defense mechanism against the infecting pathogens. Interestingly, Fungi can significantly contribute to the production of new pharmaceutical compounds like Penicillin in 1928."

"My research is focused on speech perception processes in the brain. This picture shows how a thought is transferred to the hearer as an acoustic speech signal and how her brain reacts to a speech signal, (schematically) made visible here by using electroencephalography (EEG)."

"The neurosphere was differentiated for only three days with the insecticidal compound DDT. The differentiation area was immunocytochemically stained with a specific neuronal marker (pink) and a nuclei marker (green). Without any exposure of a toxic compound the differentiation area exhibits no gaps – thus DDT seems to decrease the development of rat neural cells."

"Capillary microscopy is intended to optimize diagnostic algorithms for the early detection of collagenoses and serve as biomarker for the course of collagenoses. In addition, the use of capillary microscopy for other diseases with potential involvement of microcirculation is analyzed."
