Impressive Feet
Often capturing a picture is about patience and preparation. This embryonic foot from a Madagascar giant day gecko (Phelsuma grandis) was first ‘cleared’, using chemicals to sluice away opaque molecules, leaving its delicate early tissues behind. Captured on a high-powered microscope, hundreds of high-resolution images are stitched together. The final image reveals chemical stains highlighting the gecko’s early nerves (blue) and other tissues including bone and skin in warmer colours. Geckos are still revealing their secrets to developmental biologists fascinated by the ability to regenerate limbs after amputation. Comparing the steps of this impressive feat to human healing may lead to fresh approaches to dealing with spinal injury. Elsewhere engineers are also taking inspiration from the gecko’s foot – creating sticky robots than can grip onto wet surfaces like those in and around the human body.

See a Spider’s Face, a Human Tongue Cell, and Other Microscopic Wonders in These Winning Images
Image: Grigorii Timin & Dr. Michel Milinkovitch The first-prize image shows the embryonic hand of a Madagascar giant day gecko (Phelsuma grandis). It was taken by Grigorii Timin, a PhD student at the University of Geneva’s Department of Genetics and Evolution, under the supervision of Michel Milankovitch. To do so, Timin had to photograph the hand using a confocal microscope, then he had to…
