Metalwork and services everywhere! This photo for day 205 of #LMB365 is a view from the energy centre boiler house down into the basement plant room. There are various pipes carrying different types of water services over to the main building. Right at the back is the bulk salt storage container for the water softeners (blue vessels in the centre) that accepts a delivery of 7 tonnes of salt every two months.

LMB 365 – Day 204
This image for day 204 of #LMB365 is made with micropatterning, the process whereby any protein, in this case a fluorescent protein, can be printed onto a glass coverslip. Each logo in this image is about 100 micrometres across. Emmanuel Derivery’s lab uses these micropatterns (not in the shape of the LMB logo!) to control the precise location of proteins both on the inside and outside of cells.

Day 203 of #LMB365 from Kevin Takaki in Lalita Ramakrishnan’s group shows macrophages attacking and encasing a parasite schistosoma egg within a larval zebrafish. Schistosoma, known as blood flukes, are parasitic flatworms responsible for a significant group of infections in humans. They infect and lay their eggs within the vasculature of their human hosts and the eggs and the host immune response to these are a major cause of pathology.
