            WALTHER FLEMMING AWARD 2016
          
        
        
          The German Society for Cell Biology offers a research award named after Walther Flemming, one of the pio-
        
        
          neers of cell biological research. In 1875 he provided us with a detailed description of processes during cell
        
        
          division, which he named mitosis. The Walther Flemming Prize is awarded annually for outstanding scientific
        
        
          merits from all fields of cell biological research. Eligible are researchers up to an age of 38 years. The award
        
        
          consists of a prize money of
        
        
          
            EUR 2000
          
        
        
          and is sponsored by the European Journal of Cell Biology.
        
        
          Applications have to consist of a cover letter, a CV and a list of publications. The subject of the application
        
        
          should relate to one distinct field of research. In addition, a short summary of the work and a compelling
        
        
          description of the importance of the work for cell biology should be presented.
        
        
          Both individual applications and nominations are accepted. Applications will be reviewed by an independent
        
        
          commission of the DGZ. The award ceremony takes place at the next DGZ meeting, which will be held in
        
        
          March 2016 in Munich.

          Breakthrough
        
        
          Scientific breakthroughs rarely come from giant steps. Rather, it’s a continuous
        
        
          progression of small steps and astute application of those differences that enables
        
        
          advances.From its introduction the ORCA-Flash4.0 has challenged the status quo
        
        
          of imaging and has undergone a series of useful enhancements.The most recent
        
        
          is perhaps the most exciting; a notable increase in the ability to detect photons. If
        
        
          you have not yet experienced the ORCA-Flash4.0 V2 sCMOS, now is the time.
        
        
          
            What breakthrough will you make with your extra photons?
          
        
        
          
            The first sCMOS camera with
