# Vibrant DNA Timelapses The Crystallizing DNA Video Showcases What Happens Under a 1000x Microscope By Erin Fox | Published 2015-02-02 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystallizing-dna References: [thecreatorsproject.vice](http://thecreatorsproject.vice.com/blog/vibrant-timelapses-capture-crystallizing-dna) & [lindengledhill](http://www.lindengledhill.com/) Linden Gledhill was able to capture what happens to crystallizing DNA under a 1000 x microscope. When speaking on DNA, one might converse over its double helix structure or chemical bonds. However, under a 1000 x microscope, one is able to see much more than that. Gledhill, a seasoned photographer, captured more than 15,000 rainbow-infused images using a [specialized research microscope](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biological-research). This photography series from Gledhill is being put to good use. By creating jaw-dropping images of crystallizing DNA samples, Gledhill is able to help identify and treat autism's different subtypes. Not only is this photography sequence beautiful, it also aids a charitable cause. By understanding how DNA crystallizes, maybe we will be able to understand how to treat autism. Proceeds of the photos go to MSSNG, an [autism awareness campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steps-against-cancer) in the United States. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Multimedia](https://www.trendhunter.com/multimedia) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DNA Imagery:** Opportunity to use advanced imaging techniques to capture and analyze DNA structures for scientific research and medical applications. - **Medical Applications:** Potential for utilizing DNA imaging to gain insights into various medical conditions and develop targeted treatments. - **Charitable Photography:** Growing trend of using photography to raise awareness for charitable causes and fund related campaigns. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Biotechnology:** Disruptive innovation opportunity in leveraging advanced imaging technologies for DNA research and development of gene therapies. - **Medical Imaging:** Opportunity to incorporate DNA imaging techniques into medical imaging technologies to improve diagnostic capabilities and treatment planning. - **Photography and Philanthropy:** Emerging industry of using photography to support charitable causes and promote social impact initiatives. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Scientifically-Accurate Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glass-microbiology.md) - [Detachable Display Digital Microscopes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaverlab-darwin-m2.md) - [STEM Microscope Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microscope-explorer-series.md) - [Rapid Photo Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/life-minute-photos.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Thought-Provoking Interactive Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antibodies-installation.md) - [All-in-One Digital Microscope Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/darwin-mx-pro.md) - [Cellular Transport Freeze Techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellular-transport.md) - [Immersive Crystal Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immersive-crystal-installation.md)
