Locating DNA security beads using video microscope
MODEL RELEASED. Video microscope. Technician locating CypherMark DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) security beads using an optical microscope with video attachment. The microscopic beads can be seen fluorescing on the monitor at right. The beads are used to uncounterfeitably mark both liquids and solid surfaces as they have unique DNA sequences attached to them. Once the beads have been located, their DNA code can be analysed to authenticate the material or liquid. CypherMark beads can also be used to mark diamonds, spray criminals and to identify the source of oil spills. Photographed at Cypher Science Ltd. in Cardiff, Wales

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a technician at Cypher Science Ltd. in Cardiff, Wales, using a video microscope to locate DNA security beads. The optical microscope with a video attachment allows for precise examination of these microscopic beads, which can be seen fluorescing on the monitor beside the technician. These remarkable beads are equipped with unique DNA sequences that enable them to mark both liquids and solid surfaces in an uncounterfeitable manner. The significance of this technique lies in its ability to authenticate materials or liquids by analyzing the DNA code of the located beads. This breakthrough technology not only ensures security labeling but also finds applications in diverse fields such as marking diamonds, identifying criminals through spray tagging, and even tracing the source of oil spills. The image showcases the fusion of science and technology as it highlights the intricate process involved in locating these tiny yet powerful DNA security beads. With advancements like this, scientists and technicians continue to push boundaries and revolutionize our understanding of molecular identification methods. This photograph is a testament to human ingenuity and serves as a reminder that cutting-edge scientific techniques have far-reaching implications beyond traditional laboratory settings. It exemplifies how innovation can play an essential role in safeguarding various industries while simultaneously advancing our knowledge about DNA sequencing technologies.
