Winners of the competition are published in numerous quality magazines. Talk about exposure, & also they might not be aware that this is a hush hush subject. This is out of my league, but maybe some of you geniuses here might want to tackle it. news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Eye-Popping-Microscope-Images/ss/events/sc/111810bioscapesimageAbove is the address of the news article this info. came from. Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition 2010 Winners Posted by Shella Marie Gutierrez on Nov 19, 2010 in Camera, Headlines, Science, Technology • 3 comments Olympus America Inc. sponsored an international photo competition that honors the world’s most extraordinary microscope images of life science subjects.

This is an interesting idea Freaky! Some folks here have taken some really great microscopic pix and comparing them to what's on the Olympus site, I believe some might have a good chance in winning and if not that, it would be a great idea to make M interesting and public or at least cause awareness. I'm thinking about the awesome pix of folks here that show the typical morgs fungi, or Toni's seedling, Bannanny's awesome 'goo pix' for example. Just out of my memory, I'm sure there are alot of interesting photographs of weird looking, extraordinary stuff out here. For people interested here's the official Olympus website: www.olympusbioscapes.com/You know, I actually wanted to reply to your post right away, but forgot because I was still busy cleaning up the kitchen mess from our ONE WEEK EARLY Thanksgiving dinner.. ;D..but no really, your post reminded me of an idea we had painting morgs pictures, morgs art, and open up a morg gallery..wouldn't that be neat?... ;D Jeany

Yeah, I saw this too and you notice how the photographers labeled their photographs with what they were shooting? What would we call ours?... "Mystery Morgie Photo 1"... 2... I'm sure the 'Morgie' title alone would get us into contention?

To catch their attention ....just enough to make them curious what those pix might be....I would call them 'highly infectious new pathogen'...'mutant strain'..or..'unidentified parasite'..and NOT mention ONE word about Morgellons...or they'll possibly just put them aside with a comment.."oh, those are from those crazy folks out there at the internet. We don't want to get involved." Wait until or if they show interest...and THEN write to the press center or contact competition judges. Some info on them: Douglas Murphy is the Director of the Facilities for Light Microscopy, Histology and Cell Culture.... Dr. Murphy's past research interests in cell biology include the role of microtubules in organelle transport, the polymer dynamics of microtubules, the function of microtubule-associated proteins, and the mechanical and conformational states of the motor protein kinesin.Dr. Galbraith is a senior researcher at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, MD, the primary agency of the United States government responsible for biomedical and health-related research. Her work focuses on aspects of nanoimaging and nanotechnology, cell biology, and cellular and molecular neurobiology, including cytoskeletal dynamics and the dynamic molecular organization of structural and signaling scaffolds.Dr. Ellisman is Director of the National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research His own research projects include many aspects of cellular, molecular, and developmental neurobiology: mechanisms of intracellular transport in neurons; interactions between axons and myelinating glia; aging processes in the central nervous system; cellular interactions during nervous system regeneration..Dr. Kenworthy is an Associate Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biophysics, and Associate Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology Her primary research interests lie in cell membrane structure, along with intracellular trafficking and protein dynamics. Her lab is using a combination of cell biology and quantitative fluorescence microscopy to explore the lipid raft hypothesis, particularly the spatial distribution and dynamics of raft-associated proteins and lipids in cells.www.olympusbioscapes.com/judges/judges2010.htmlThose are the people we need!

Oh, thank God. I haven't looked what I wrote all day because I thought it was going to be so much more embarrassing than it was, not that it wasn't. I'm sorry I haven't responded, but since this was the third thread I posted, & no one responded at first, i GAVE UP LOOKING. oh whoops. jeany beany dauling, so good to hear from you. I think I could draw a morg with my eyes closed, just like I did my post, only lots better. Thanks so much for all your information. Information helps if you're trying to get someone interested in what you're talking about. I'm not too good at that. You are so wonderful. Oh, & yeah (sp?), an art exhibit would be neat. Nevertheless, if we could get some people interested in this, I think they would accept our pics. They are absolutely incredible. Some of the pics by the person that has done all the recent videos on U-Tube. Can't remember how to spell her name, but it starts with an S, & the background music is by Quaalude. Maybe even get some other sites to join in. Jan Smith's , or Gremma? could send in some good ones. You're names are good too. jeany, you might be on a roll. kam, one shouldn't shun a challenge. If we blow this off, we'll never know. If we're rejected, we'll know we tried. If we won, we'd get world wide coverage, interest, & maybe a cure. It would be a harmless attempt. I think maybe you feel so bad, being attacked so severely right now, that it's difficult to see this on a better note. That's just a wild guess, and I'm not criticizing you, because it's normal to react in such a manner when the body snatchers are running havoc. Does that make sense?? Sure we'd have to fine tune a lot off things, & this could be hard work, but the end would justify the means don't you think? Nanners, come, come. We need your help too, if anyone else thinks this is doable, & offers to help. Just got a little foggy. I swear, the computer makes me fall asleep. Hope we get another response. Love, & smackers to all, freaky

Yes Freaky, they're pretty good. Kamsters got a lot of really neat lookin' pix. Others here too. Ya know, those pix at the Olympus competition are made with high tech microscopes and special lighting techniques which may be the reason why folks here might feel reluctant in participating. I was thinking about 'enhancing' some of the pix with a picture modifying programm and adding some colors, but that would be cheating, wouldn't it?...lol... ;D
But the 'quintessence' would be to make them interested in what we're showing rather than winning the contest, right?
muahmuah back... Jeany

Well, since the article says this... Every year, they recognize outstanding images of life science captured through light microscopes.I'd think you HAVE to be using light microscopes... and of course my pics were all taken with an Intel Qx5... far from being a light microscope. So I think you may be right jeany bean... plus it's over for this year. Then again, maybe by next year when you can start submitting photos again someone here will have a light microscope and some real good morg pics. Won't be me tho... since I don't even scope anymore, sorry freakers. hugs & smackers ~~ bannanny

RIGHT, & some of these people probably have the correct microscopes. Can one get an attachment. This all seems like a big chance to me, getting ready to be flushed. Oh, jez, I could be in the same boat. Time will tell. The part about me is not open for discussion.
Time passes by quickly, freaky
