LMB 365 – Day 28
The central nervous system of a larval vinegar fly, Drosophila Melanogaster, is the subject of day 28 of #LMB365. In this image, by Alex Bates in the group of Greg Jefferis in the Neurobiology Division, the larva is expressing a green fluorescent protein in its newly formed neurons, highlighting tracts in which bundles of neurons project together. Tracts can be used as landmarks, by which different neurons and brain regions can be identified
LMB 365 – Day 27
Day 27 of #LMB365 shows the handover by Richard Henderson of an electronic control unit of a Joyce-Loebl Microdensitometer Mark 4 to the Science Museum @sciencemuseum. Designed in the 1970s, with significant input from the LMB’s Workshops, it has been superseded by new technology
LMB 365 – Day 26
Day 26 of #LMB365 shows two scientists hard at work looking for a clear result from a late night Western blot. Sometimes data interpretation requires a bit of contrast coming from the light outside the LMB

LMB 365 – Day 25
Day 25 of #LMB365 is a close up of the fruit fly Drosophila Melanogaster. These are used to study development in the group of @katjaroeper in Cell Biology @CellBiol_MRCLMB. These fluorescent flies in their cage lay GFP-expressing embryos which are collected for further analysis
