Visualization Challenge winners show spectacular science

19:00 02 February 2012

It's not always easy to explain a complex idea in words, but sometimes an picture can help ? especially if it's beautiful and compelling.

Metabolomic Eye

It's not just a squishy ball: this image of a mouse eye shows all the onion-like layers inside. Made using computational molecular phenotyping, we can clearly see the optic nerve at top right and the outer sclera (in green) enclosing the other layers. Despite its cringe-inducing subject matter, this image won first place in the photography category.
