Abstract 2nd place winner

All life on Earth as we understand today is built from four types of building blocks. One of these building blocks are proteins. Proteins in turn are composed of a long strand of amino acids arranged in a specific sequence. Proteins are manufactured in ribosomes as instructed by a process called transcription and translation. Every protein consists of a specific sequence of amino acids which fold up into a functional protein.

This sequence of images are of various amino acids which have been mixed in a particular ratio and then prepared for imaging using a polarised light microscope with an attached camera.

Scientific Photographic Artist specializing in microscopy. I use microscopes for fine art photography of chemicals.
