From a rainbow on the surface of a fruit fly's brain to the last tree to be felled in a once great forest, a series of intriguing photographs showcasing the work of young researchers have gone on show. The pictures are part of an exhibition at the Cambridge Science Festival, which aims to open up the world of scientific study to the general public. They have been compiled by researchers from the life sciences subjects at the University of Cambridge. Beautiful firework? An ultra-magnified image by Mahalia Page, which captures how hair follicles help heal wounds by supplying new cells, is one of a series of images by researchers from the life sciences subjects at the University of Cambridge. The pictures are part of an exhibition at the Cambridge Science Festival, which aims to open up the world of scientific study to the general public. Alexander Hackman is studying the bio-mechanics of how insects clean themselves for his PhD. His picture might look like an abstract piece of modern art, but it is actually an ultra-magnified image showing a polystyrene particle that is five times smaller than the diameter of a human hair attached to a cleaning hair removed from an ant's antenna. He created the first of its kind image using a special microscope in a bid to show how insects keep healthy using specialised cleaning devices. Konrad Wagstyl used a new method to look at the cerebral cortex. The result is The Jigsaw Brain (pictured), which is a colourful image showing how the brain is randomly split into a thousand pieces, to highlight how researchers identify the same areas of different brains.

Another picture, taken by Sarah Luke, shows a mighty Belian iron-wood trunk lying on a forest floor in the state of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, which is all that is left of a site that has been cleared to make way for an oil palm plantation. ‘Malaysia is a leading producer of palm oil and the industry has provided a hugely valuable boost to the economy and many jobs,’ she explained. ‘However, vast areas of forest have been lost, posing major threats to biodiversity. ‘It is unusual to see such a large trunk left abandoned in a plantation, and this offers a particularly poignant reminder of the forest that has been lost.’ Sarah Luke's image (pictured) shows a mighty Belian iron-wood trunk lying on a forest floor in the state of Sabah in Malaysian Borneo, which is all that is left of a site that has been cleared to make way for an oil palm plantation. Jun Liu's image (pictured) is described as a rainbow 'Milky Way at the brain surface' and shows the blood brain barrier of a fruit fly rendered at super resolution.

Another image by Mahalia Page shows how hair follicles help heal wounds by supplying new cells and Tobias Waeur produced an image showing the molecular structure of the protein Parkin, which has been shown to cause Parkinson's disease. The images will be shown at the Cormack Room University Centre in Cambridge between 12.30pm and 3pm tomorrow and entry is free.

Images include microscopic views of brains and hair follicles as well as images of proteins and brain surfaces.


question: The prospect of arguably the two best club sides in the world contesting the European Champions League final remains a possibility after Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid were kept apart in the semifinal draw in Nyon, Switzerland. Current Spanish league leaders Barca were drawn against Bayern Munich, who have already wrapped up the Bundesliga title this season, while Real Madrid will play Borussia Dortmund. "It's our chance to show that Bayern Munich has improved since 2009 (when Barcelona beat Bayern 4-0) and that we can now compare ourselves to the best teams," Bayern honorary president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told reporters on Friday. "It will be a good comparison between the Bundesliga and the Spanish league." Last season Real and Dortmund won the Spanish and German league titles. While Real have been off the pace in the Spanish league this season -- Jose Mourinho's side are 12 points behind Barca -- the Madrid club beat their Catalan rivals recently in the Spanish Cup semifinals. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund have also lagged as Bayern have romped to the title, but Jurgen Klopp's side have looked a different proposition in the Champions League and are the only unbeaten side in this season's competition. Dortmund got the better of Real when the two sides met in the group stages, with the German side beating Real 2-1 in their Westfalenstadion and then securing an impressive 2-2 draw in Madrid to finish top of their section. The semifinal meeting between Barca and Bayern has an added twist in that the Catalan's side former coach coach Pep Guardiola will replace the German club's coach Jupp Heynckes at the end of the season. Heynckes was Real's coach in 1998, when Madrid won their first title in the competition in more than 30 years. Real are chasing a 10th European Cup, although their last win was back in 2002. Their arch-rivals Barcelona and Bayern both have four and Borussia weigh in with their single victory in 1997 when they upset favourites Juventus 3-1 in the final. The semifinal will be played on 23 and 24 April, with the return legs on 30 April and 1 May to decide who will meet in the Wembley final in London on May 25. In the Europa League, Chelsea will face Switzerland's Basel, while Turkish side Fenerbahce face Portugal's Benfica on April 25 and May 2 for the right to contest the final in Amsterdam on May 15.

answer:
Barcelona will play Bayern Munich in the Euroepan Champions League semifinals. Nine-time winner Real Madrid face Borussia Dortmund in the last four. Semifinals will be played on 23 and 24 April, with the return legs on 30 April and 1 May. Chelsea face Basel, while Fenerbahce meet Benfica in the Europa League semifinals.
