Science and show business may sound like an unusual combination, but advances in technology mean that scientists can now capture dramatic images of their research that easily match the glamor of Broadway. A striking image captured by Graham Wright and Henning Horn from the A*STAR Institute of Medical Biology (IMB) in Singapore during their ground-breaking investigations into fertility was the regional winner in the microscopy category of the 2013 GE Healthcare Life Sciences Cell Imaging Competition. Fittingly, together with the other prize-winning images, the image was recently displayed on a large, high-resolution screen in New York's iconic Times Square.
