Confocal micrograph of Bacillus subtilis. Bacillus subtilis is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium, commonly found in soil. Fluorescent proteins (TagRFP-T, sfGFP, TagBFP, mKate2 and mOrange2), time-lapse confocal microscopy and biophysical models are being used to understand the organization of bacterial biofilms. 

Neuromuscular junction showing the association of the nerves and the muscle fibres. This image is taken from a Drosophila larva and shows the neuromuscular junctions stained with green fluorescence protein (GFP) in association with the muscle fibres in red. The muscle is stained with an antibody which provides the red colour and also shows the striated pattern of the contractile filaments (sarcomers) of the muscle.

Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!
