The image displays the autofluorescent characteristics of renal tissue that were observed in biobank patient samples during an investigation of Tertiary Lymphoid Structure (TLS) in Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC). We visualize the signal using GeoMx spatial transcriptomics technology.

This is a fluorescence microscopy image revealing the intricate cell wall sugars of Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans, a chytrid fungus that is leading a global amphibian pandemic. In the image, we can see the body of the parent fungi poised to release a new generation of spores that will seek out amphibian prey.
