Last night the winners of the 2009 Wellcome Image Awards were announced. So what? The Wellcome Trust are the UK’s largest charity and they fund medical research. The also hold an impressive library in London which is open to the public and they maintain a very large database of images.
Every year they select the very best images in the Wellcome database and these form an exhibit at the Wellcome Collection in London. If you can’t make it to London you can view the images online.
The Image Award Website also has some short videos explaining the different types of microscope, they are well worth a look.
I don’t think my £50 Lidl microscope would produce the “technically excellent” images they are looking for but as soon as I get the chance I will take some more images and post them here.
