  • Dr Rakesh Suman, a Phasefocus-sponsored Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate in the Bioscience Technology Facility, Department of Biology, University of York, shared the runners' up spot with his creation of Cellular Heaven and Hell, a time-lapse video obtained with the Phasefocus Virtual Lens VL20 microscope, which uses ptychography to produce label-free, high-contrast, quantitative phase images. The healthy human bladder epithelial cells in "heaven" were imaged under normal physiological conditions every 10 minutes and are played back at seven frames per second. The human gut epithelial cells in "hell" were treated with staurosporine to induce cell death, or apoptosis.
