Images and Videos This section highlights web sites that have nice collections of images of biological interest. For images in specific research topic areas, you can check out lab home pages of specific researchers. Cells Alive! has instructional information and fluorescent images of selected bacteria, protozoa and animal cells undergoing cellular processes. Common Molecules Pages (Indiana University Molecular Structure Center) is a growing image collection of "simple, common, and interesting molecules," including amino acids, vitamins, medicines, and many other compounds. Dennis Kunkel Microscopy, Inc. is an image gallery containing hundreds of micrographs of scientific, biological and medical subjects photographed with electron microscopes and colorized. The site includes images of bacteria, viruses, insects and human cells. Endoplasmic Reticulum: Structure and Function (University of Texas Medical Branch) presents detailed descriptions and images describing protein secretion, protein sorting and the organelles involved in these processes. FishScope (Dr. Mark Cooper, University of Washington, Seattle) contains movies of developing zebrafish embryos and still images using the confocal microscope.
