E. Rutherford in the Cavendish Laboratory

The New Zealand born physicist Sir Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937, right) seen in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. Rutherford became director of this laboratory in 1919 and in the same year he announced one of his major discoveries. He showed that the structure of an atom could be changed (nuclear transmutation) by bombarding it with alpha particles. He was also involved (1934) in the first nuclear fusion reaction in which tritium was the end product of deuterium nuclei collisions. He is considered to be the father of nuclear physics and in 1908 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for chemistry

Immunofluorescent LM of neurons & astrocytes

Immunofluorescent Light Micrograph of a network of neurons and astrocyte cells, in brain cortex. In the foreground, nerve fibres of neurons (green) are seen in a fine branching network. These fibres are the routes of transmission of nerve impulses. Astrocytes behind them (orange) are large star- shaped connective tissue cells; as part of the neuroglia ("nerve glue") they provide mechanical support and nutrients for the neurons. Astrocytes may take part in information storage processes. Immunofluorescence is a staining technique which uses antibodies to attach fluorescent dyes to specific tissues and to molecules within the cell. Magnification: x200 at 35mm, x375 at 6x4.5cm
