| Millennium Cell Issue Features DeltaVision Image on the Cover |
 The January 7, 2000 cover of Cell features a photograph of mitotic spindles in a human cell (HeLa), captured and processed by scientists at the Scripps Research Institute using Applied Precision's DeltaVision® Microscopy System.
The Scripps scientists, led by Associate Professor Kevin Sullivan, Ph.D. and in collaboration with a team of scientists at the University of California, San Diego, used the DeltaVision to develop a highly sensitive labeling method that allows visualization of chromosomes and chromosome fragments in living cells during cell division. This enables the researchers to understand how certain chromosomes often found in cancerous cells are formed.
Cell chose the DeltaVision image for its Millennium issue to "represent the use of new technologies to visualize cells and to determine patterns of gene expression."
Cell has been a well-respected and widely-read scientific journal for the last 25 years. Its coverage includes original research articles of exceptional significance in areas including molecular biology, biochemistry, cancer research, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, neurobiology, plant biology, structural biology and virology.
