Microscopic Wonders
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-92558-0 (ISBN)
This book takes the reader on a visual journey of the microscope and shares exciting stories about its development and the new technologies that exist that renders the invisible visible. The book begins with the history of microscopy and follows with the basics of various types of microscopy: brightfield, widefield, confocal, transmission electron, and scanning electron. All chapters feature stunning visuals. The history of the microscope is illustrated with paintings in the style of tattoos by tattoo artist Yingfayang tattoo, and the later chapters pair computer designed images and photography to stunning effect, passing on to the reader an appreciation not only for the scientific possibilities of microscopy, but also its artistic possibilities.
Abraham Rosas-Arellano, Ph.D.
Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from Neurobiology Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). He has two Bachelor degrees, one of them in Biology and the other one in OB-Gyn Nursing, as well as a Master degree in Science, all of which were completed at UNAM. During his career he received an extense and comprehensive training in techniques and methodologies focused on fluorescent and electron microscopy. He has been awarded various scholarships from CONAHCYT, AMUHJ, and from The Society for Neuroscience. He is a member of the National System of Researchers in Mexico. He completed his postdoctoral research at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole Massachusetts (USA), Cinvestav-IPN in Zacatenco (Mexico City, Mexico), and at the Universidad Austral de Chile in Isla Teja (Chile). Additionally, he s carried research stays at the synchrotrons of Stanford (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory) and in Paris (Synchrotron Soleil, Paris-Saclay). Currently, he is part of the Imaging Unit staff at the Institute of Cellular Physiology at UNAM as specialist in brightfield, widefield, confocal, transmission electron, and scanning electron microscopy. He has been invited as a guest professor to teach specialized theoretical and practical microscopy courses both in and outside of Mexico.
Carmen Reyes Luna, MSc.
Carmen was born and raised in Mexico City. She obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacology and a Master of Science degree with Distinction in Precision Medicine at The University of Manchester (United Kingdom), same institution where she obtained The Stellify Award for volunteering, leadership, and ethical roles. She participated in her first research project with Dr. Ayse Latif, investigating monocarboxylate transporters in endometrial cancer. After her graduate studies Carmen returned to Mexico City with the intention of developing her research skills in neuroscience. She became part of the laboratory of Dr. Ramiro-Cortes at Institute of Cellular Physiology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico where she got involved in the study of network and engram aberrations present in animal models of Phelan-McDermid Syndrome. Currently, Carmen works as a scientist for Metsera in London, dealing with experimental treatments for diabetes and obesity. Her personal research interests, galvanized by being awarded a Psychedelic Science 2023 scholarship, include mental health and disease, neuroplasticity, and neurodegeneration.
