2012 New Scientist Eureka Prize for Science Photography ‘Tracking Alzheimer’s Disease’. The neuron has been treated with a beta-amyloyd peptide. The peptide creates a beta-amyloyd plaque, which is thought to be the fundamental cause of Alzheimer’s disease. The sample was platinum-coated and imaged in high vacuum, at 15.5 kV and 3200 magnification. Photo: Linnea Rundgren
