The Placenta Rainbow. Rich in oranges, blues and greens this is a vivid arrangement of mouse placentas. Captured through confocal microscopy, the image shows placentas taken from mice who have genetically different immune systems, highlighting how such differences can affect the structure of the placenta for example the development of blood vessels (shown in red) – an important consideration for conditions such as pre-eclampsia.
