A photomicrograph of embryonic African clawed frog (Xenopus) skin cells is drawing attention, showing cilia in green, centrioles in red, and cell membranes in white. The image is credited to Pierre Nouaux and Laurent Kodjabachian, with Camille Boutin, as an entry to the Nikon Small World photomicrography competition, and is being shared by science and art enthusiasts.

Why now: Nikon Small World competition imagery regularly circulates among science art fans who admire the beauty of microscopic structures.
