About CELLpics
We hope you enjoy viewing this collection of fascinating images. The primary aim of this site is to provide students and schools with images and movies which have been created using research level equipment and techniques and also to illustrate specific points using animated clips and interactivity. This site makes extensive use of Adobe Flash and a plug-in is required to view the content of this site.

CELLpics is not a library (other excellent sites fulfil this role) but a website where selected images are interpreted using the CIMR GridPoint device together with static and pop-up notes. Weblinks are included  to more detailed information available on The British Society for Cell Biology softCELL and other websites. Many of the images have been generously supplied by specialists in cell biology who wish to share with you their excitement of seeing and understanding the inside of a cell.
