ЗдоровьеНа кого подписаться: Инстаграм о грибах
под микроскопом

Продолжаем рассказывать о достойных аккаунтах в соцсетях, через которые можно рассматривать целый мир.

Когда-то Эйлин мечтала преподавать искусство, но в подростковом возрасте устроилась на подработку в частную патологическую лабораторию в Канзасе; по её словам, работа заключалась в том, чтобы «возить по городу части тела». В лаборатории Эйлин влюбилась в микроскопы и новый мир, который они позволяют увидеть. Теперь она микробиолог и специализируется в микологии, то есть науке о грибах. В своём тематическом инстаграме она пишет о поездках и рабочих буднях и, конечно, выкладывает сделанные под микроскопом фотографии организмов со сложными латинскими названиями — иные напоминают фантастические абстракции. Там можно увидеть грибковые споры в традиционных рождественских красках, признание в любви из дрожжей на питательной среде или, например, фото возбудителя ушной инфекции, похожего на одуванчик. 

A fairly young Syncephalastrum racemosum; a zygomycete that is almost always a contaminant and very rarely causes infection. This is an isolate I was storing in my stock library so I can't recall where it was originally harvested from, but I'd bet money it came from someone's sinuses 👃 I'll hopefully be able to get some better pictures to share as it matures so I can show off the structures a little better 🤞👩🏻‍🔬

My Chaetomium babies. A few little perithecium. 💙 #dematiaceous #chaetomium #mold #mould #hongos #fungus #fungi #funglings #fungusamongus #fortheloveoffungus #brightfield #microscopy #brightfieldmicroscopy #lactophenolcottonblue #medicalmycology #medicalmicrobiology #medmicro #medtech #pathology #pathart #sciart #nerdsunite #🔬

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....there was this joint fluid where all the things lit up on Auramine stain. After careful review, this patient was negative for acid fast bacilli. 🌌☺️ #auramine #auraminestain #microbiology #microbiologia #mycobacteriology #pathology #pathart #sciart #microscopy #nerdsunite #🔬

I didn't intend to post another, but I'm so drawn to this one. Today is World TB Day. Unfortunately, tuberculosis is not an archaic disease of the past; it is still very prevalent and has the potential to be devastating. In a collaborative effort to help raise awareness about this disease, chemist @vance.williams and I put together this Drug/Bug combo showing Isoniazid wiping out MTB shown on Auramine stain. Isoniazid saved Vance's mother in the 1950s and is still a front-line agent for the prevention and treatment of latent and active tuberculosis. Today, multi-drug resistant AND extensively drug resistant strains are emerging. To prevent the spread of this disease, a rigorous treatment plan must be strictly followed. To prevent the spread of *any* multi-drug resistant bacteria...TB, MRSA, VRE...take your antibiotics as prescribed!! Do not stop because you "feel better." Let's eradicate this disease. @worldhealthorganization @cdcgov @asmicrobiology #unitetoendtb #worldtbday #cdc #asm #endtb #isoniazid #tuberculosis #mycobacteriumtuberculosis #sciart #pathart #art #microscopy #pathology #🔬

It's Christmas Eve here this morning 🎄 I made some celebratory agar art just for y'all! On the left, we have a Candida albicans Snow Flake on Buffered Charocoal Yeast Agar ❄️ On the right; a Staphylococcus saprophyticus Snow Man on Blood Agar ☃️ I have a fuzzy fungus Christmas Tree cooking in the incubator at the lab, which *might* be ready when I go in to work tomorrow. I'm not sure how successful I was, but I'll post the end result even if it's a massively fuzzy fail 😂 Wishing all of you the very happiest, healthiest, and safest of holidays ❣

Hey, y'all! This is my 💯th post so I thought I'd make it special. For educational purposes, I like my photos to look like what any microbiologist would see under the scope but recently I've been inspired to try something different. This Instagram community is pretty cool....you guys are artists, pathologists, plant pathologists, microbiologists, chemists, backyard scientists, the list goes on and on. My followers are a prime example that art and science go together like peas and carrots. After seeing the fun modification @_uprosa_ did to one of my photos and a little encouragement from others, I decided to try it myself. This is one of my favorite photos of Epicoccum. I inverted the colors and played a bit and this is what I got. Let me know what you think❣ #dematiaceous #epicoccum #mold #mould #hongos #fungus #fungi #funglings #fungusamongus #fortheloveoffungus #mycology #micologia #microbiology #microbiologia #pathology #pathart #microscopy #olympuslifescience #olympus #🔬#throwback #throwbackthursday #tbt #nerdsunite

Starting Monday off with quite a bang and a few barfing fuzzballs 😝 This crazy Chaetomium species is my favorite!! Here we have two totally ripe perithecia dumping their contents through an ostiole. 💙 #dematiaceous #chaetomium #mold #mould #hongos #fungus #fungi #funglings #fungusamongus #fortheloveoffungus #mycology #micologia #microbiology #microbiologia #microscopy #nerdsunite #🔬 #lactophenolcottonblue #pathart
