The Winners of the Picture Competition 2017

First Place

Contributor:

Hanen Khabou

Institution:

Institut de la Vision, UPMC/Inserm/CNRS

Country:

France

Short Description:

Rainbow Fovea. Cone photoreceptors of the fovea -located in the central part of the retina- are responsible for daylight and color vision. Cones are also essential for high acuity vision, needed to perform tasks that require precision such as reading, or recognizing faces. The image was acquired with a confocal microscope from a non-human primate retinal flatmount, after immunostainings.

Second Place

Contributor:

Emelie Brodrick

Institution:

University of Bristol

Country:

Great Britain

Short Description:

Inside the compound eye of a fiddler crab: This electron micrograph shows a cross-section through one of the many thousand elongated ommatidia (eye units). Seven retinula cells contribute microvillus projections to a central photosensitive rhabdom at perpendicular angles. This allows the crab to discriminate between horizontally and vertically polarized light.

Third Place

Short Description:

Multicolor Widefield

Fourth Place

Contributor:

Solveig Weidel

Institution:

Paul-Flechsig-Institute for brain research

Country:

Germany

Short Description:

Clustered vision. Vitality staining of living retina of guinea pig. Top view onto the ganglien cell layer and nerve fibers shows a clustered organization of Müller glial cells' endfeet (red), accurately separated from each other by fine lipid membranes (green) and surrounding ganglien cells (black circles)

Fifth Place

Contributor:

Ali Osman Saatci

Institution:

Dokuz Eylul University School of Medicine

Country:

Turkey

Short Description:

Right eye; myopic retinoskizis

Sixth Place

Contributor:

Jonathan Brett

Institution:

n/a

Country:

Great Britain

Short Description:

This fundus fluorescein angiogram of a patient with Choroideremia uses the nine field view which has then been merged together to create a wider view giving the clinician a better understanding of the geography of the remaining retina.

Seventh Place

Institution:

Moorfields Eye Hospital London

Country:

Great Britain

Short Description:

Vortex vessels captured on the Optos 200

Eighth Place

Contributor:

Hazim Roni

Institution:

UCLA

Country:

USA

Short Description:

RPE cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells are imaged using structured illumination microscopy and show labeling of tight junction protein, ZO-1 (cyan), actin (green), microtubules (red), and nuclei (blue).

Nineth Place

Institution:

Assaf Harofeh Medical Center

Country:

Israel

Short Description:

Gyrate atrophy (GA). A 28 years old female, presented with history of progressive night blindness, Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 6/120 in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination displayed bilateral posterior subcapsular cataracts, and fundoscopy revealed bilateral sharply demarcated circular areas of chorioretinal atrophy involving the mid-periphery (A). The posterior pole was relatively spared of these lesions but did have a large round atrophic lesion at the temporal side of the right’s eye macula. In addition, there were elevated pinkish-yellow lesions with occasional tiny spots of calcification over both optic discs (B). Their clinical and ultrasonography (US) appearance were consistent with optic nerve astrocytic hamartoma (rarely associated with GA). Serum ornithine levels were markedly elevated (697 μmol/l, reference range 19–81 μmol/l). Sequencing the OAT gene identified a previously reported single base pair (bp) deletion of cytosine at position 159 of the cDNA

Tenth Place

Country:

Egypt

Short Description:

A mosaic picture of the famous ancient Egyptian King Tut golden mask formed of over 500 retinal images covering common disorders in both single and composite forms, using most of retinal imaging modalities such as MCI, FFA, IR, BR and autofluorescence "BAF & NIR-AF"
