Los dispositivos innovadores se adquirieron con fondos CARES.

La Universidad de Puerto Rico en Bayamón (URP-B) abrió este jueves las puertas de los modernos laboratorios del Departamento de Biología que ahora cuentan con 36 potentes microscopios Nikon, modelo ECLIPSE Ei.

Los dispositivos innovadores se adquirieron con fondos CARES.

As Nikon Representatives in Puerto Rico we are very excited for this historical event. This agreement between the University of Puerto Rico and Nikon Instruments, Inc. creates a Nikon Center of Excellence (NCoE). There are about 5 of this Centers in the U.S.A. This NCoE will be the first in the Caribbean and Central America. It will be available for Researchers from these countries to trained in different imaging systems. This Center will also attract Researchers from the private sector and other academic institutions to promote Research and Development at the Universities and private sectors in Puerto Rico.

We would like to congratulate; Dr. José Lasalde, Dr. Carlos Báez, Dr. Guillermo Yudowski, Dr. Mark Miller and Dr. Manuel Díaz for their contribution in making this monumental achievement that will benefit Puerto Rico, the Investigators and Students alike. We also wish to congratulate Dr. Uroyoán Walker Ramos, President of the UPR for this achievement.

The Popular Vote winners in the 2016 Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition are Jose Almodovar and Dr. Alvaro Roura. With so many spectacular images, it’s only fitting that more than one has taken the title.

It may look like a pair of trees, but Jose Almodovar’s image of a slime mold puts this specimen in a whole new light. What makes this image incredible is its colors and ability to provoke imagination and curiosity. It also required exemplary technique, as it Almodovar had to use a very specific focus and remain completely still when taking the photo.

Almodovar is a Scientific Instrumentation Specialist in charge of the microscopy center at The University of Puerto Rico’s Mayaguez Campus. He has been taking micrographs for over 22 years and has been participating in the Nikon Small World competition since 2006.

Dr. Alvaro Roura’s Viperfish inspires awe and terror in equal measure. Dr. Roura sorted this Viperfish from a plankton sample collected at night in the surface waters of the Iberian Peninsula. He chose this photo in part because of how it features the “blue” spot under the Viperfish’s eye. The spot produces a red light that brings red prey out of the dark, an extraordinary adaptation for the predator. What’s even more amazing about this photo? It was taken aboard a research vessel surrounded by waves that made the shot very difficult to take.

Dr. Roura’s research is focused on the ecology of zooplankton at The Instituto de Investigacións Mariñas in Vigo, Spain. He has been taking micrographs for eight years.

Thank you for being with us during the past Nikon Presentation of Nikon JEOL Neoscope Electronic Microscope and Confocal, Super Resolution talk. We hope we can meet on a future event.
