This image from Eric Vancauwenberghe of the University of Sheffield shows a picrosirius red (PSR) staining of a mouse tibia (growth plate) viewed under polarised light microscopy. It's the standard method to evaluate the organization of collagen fibers in tissues. It allows visualization of thick collagen fibers in yellow/orange-red and thin collagen fibers in green.

spooling
Geoff Patterson of the University of Manchester shows his workings with this image. He said: "These show the final stages of purification of a massive amount of DNA , often referred to as "spooling". I was a group leader at the (then) Paterson institute for Cancer research until 2012, then became an honorary prof at the University of Manchester. I was a DNA repair man, and the DNA was used to prepare radiolabelled substrate for DNA repair assays."
