Spores under a microscope
Figure 1. Confocal image of Aspergillus sp. sporulation.

This week’s UH News Image of the Week is from University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa’s Christine Farrar, an associate specialist in cell and molecular biology.

Farrar shared: “The image is of Aspergillus, a common type of mold, and features its spore producing structures. The attached image was created by Connor Schuller, a graduate student in the Department of Cell and Molecular Biology. It was generated from z-stack data collected on a laser scanning confocal microscope by fellow graduate students as part of a practicum assignment for Spring 2023 CMB 622: Cell Molecular Biology II, directed by Professor Peter Hoffmann. The practicum assignment was guided by Associate Specialist Christine Farrar. Class members include: Andrea Chavez, Brennan Yamamoto, Bryan Suechting, Chelsea Tanaka, Connor Schuller, Desta Rabin, Kayla Colaruotolo, Min Seok Han, and Ryan Wright.”
