Congratulations SCELSE research associate Choo Pei Yi! For clinching the 3rd place of NTU OpticalBio-imaging Centre (NOBIC) image contest which kicked off for users of NOBIC imaging facilities in Jul 21. Pei Yi’s ‘art’ worthy winning entry dubbed The Coccoid Entanglement really impressed the international panel of seven judges comprising representatives from academia and industry. “My entry was taken using a super resolution technique called structured illumination microscopy (SIM),” said Pei Yi. “It showcases chains of Enterococcus faecalis pulse labelled using different coloured cell wall dye.
I recommend NOBIC imaging facilities to other researchers. Afterall, seeing is believing.”

Pei Yi’s second submission Living on the Edge
(pictured above right) also made it to the finals.
And so did SCELSE research assistant Wong Li Lan’s

These entries were among 29 images submitted by
participants from SCELSE & LKC School of Medicine, NTU.
