Researchers have used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to capture the very first high-resolution three-dimensional images of cell division in live cells of the microalga Volvox carteri ...

In this multicellular Volvox alga, the novel light sensor 2c-cyclop was labeled with fluorescence (green). It shows up in membranes around the nucleus.

The winning image displays something we may see every day in an entirely new light. The third-place image highlights a mature colony of volvox algae, a type of tiny greenery that commonly grows in ...

Researchers from the University of Cambridge have captured the first three-dimensional images of a live embryo turning itself inside out. The images, of embryos of a green alga called Volvox, make ...

Two things make Volvox and Chlamydomonas especially useful as a model system for studying the evolution of multicellularity.
