Molecular Cytology was invited to contribute to the museum night of 7 November at the NEMO science center. The evening\u2019s theme was \u2018light on life\u2019, as part of the 2015 international year of light. Lindsay Haarbosch, Laura van Weeren, Joachim Goedhart, Ren\u00e9e van Amerongen and Dorus Gadella demonstrated the principle of fluorescence and the use of fluorescence technology in life sciences research.<\/p>\n

To this end, they put together an interactive exhibit, where visitors marvelled at a bright array of fluorescent dyes in solution as well as genetically encoded \u00a0fluorophores, including the novel bright cyan and red coloured fluorescent protein variants developed at Molecular Cytology. For a hands-on experience, visitors viewed fluorescently-labelled subcellular structures as well as complex mammalian tissues under the microscope. Inspired by Lindsay\u2019s famous bacterial colony paintings on petridishes, the museum visitors could then make their own artwork using fluorescent solutions and transform their smartphones into a blacklight.<\/p>\n
