Medical discovery on a Mac

without comments

While browsing Apple’s Hot News page for update on new pricing structure that Apple is going to implement from 1st of april onwards on its iTunes Store content I arrived at a report entitled Ahna Skop- In Search of the Midbody. It shows a colorful image of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell hovers on a field of black created by professor Ahna Skop’s lab at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Dr. Ahna Skop is an assistant professor of genetics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She studies cytokinesis, the phase of eukaryotic cell division in which a cell splits apart to form two daughter cells.

This image has been created using Openlab software created by Improvision, a Mac-only microscope software program. It interfaces directly with the microscope. She adds false color to the image, a different shade for each wavelength that the laser records. Finally, the image is post-processed in Adobe Photoshop.

 

Though to me this article on the Apple’s website clearly depicts the Apple style of promoting their line of products!

Here comes my first Apple gadget!

with 2 comments

I ordered one Apple iPod shuffle1GB from ebay.in on 14th of October but it arrived at my door step nearly after a month that’s today. It wasn’t seller’s fault though. It was actually DTDC courier service which do not deliver their services on my address. And I can’t believe what they had done— they sent it back to Mumbai on seller’s address with a tag of “No Service”.

Anyhow I received my iPod Shuffle from Blue Dart courier today.

Watch my flickr iPod  photo set as I play with this little toy.
