38 doi:10.1017/S1551929518001177 2018 Nikon Small World in Motion Winners
First place was awarded to Dr. Elizabeth Haynes and Jiaye “Henry” He for their video of a zebrafish embryo growing its elaborate sensory nervous system. The video ref lects a time lapse of 16 hours and uses gentle light sheet technology to capture the whole zebrafish embryo in 3D, at a high temporal resolution. This year’s second place winner was Dr. Miguel A. Bandres, whose video shows a laser propagating inside a soap membrane.

Hyperspectral Imaging Helps Conservation of Outdoor Bronze Statue by Auguste Rodin
Outdoor bronze statues make an important contribution to our culture; however, the urban atmosphere is corrosive, with sulfur oxides and acid rain causing the formation of copper sulfates, brochantite, and antlerite. Both compounds are green, giving the corroded bronze its typical hue, and are formed through complex electrochemical processes. Detection of these two compounds provides valuable information on the general condition of bronze sculptures and guides their preservation.
