James E. Hayden

The Wistar Institute
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States

Anglerfish ovary (4x)

When a former colleague sent him a section of an anglerfish ovary, James E.

Hayden of The Wistar Institute came up with the idea of looking at the autofluorescence of the tissue in two colors. His vibrant swirling photomicrograph of developing oocytes, or unfertilized eggs, as they move along the spiral of an anglerfish’s ovary came in fourth.

Mr. Hayden said he is drawn to both photographic art and science. “Most microscopists have a streak of artist in them. It’s hard not to. You’re looking at things through a microscope that most people don’t see. The nascent artist in you sort of peeks its head up.”

 Oh hey logarithmic spiral. We meet again.
