Stunning microscopic footage showing “waves” inside a developing fly embryo has won the 14th annual Nikon Small World in Motion competition.

These mitotic waves occur during cell division when tissues are formed and move in the fruit fly embryo (Drosophila melanogaster fruit fly). Understanding these biological processes in flies could help uncover the forces that shape embryos across the animal kingdom. Many of these fundamental processes can go awry in humans, leading to neurological disorders, birth defects, and cancer.
