Cambridge
success in Wellcome Image Awards
University
of Cambridge researchers created four out of the 16 winning images in the
recent Wellcome Image Awards 2012.
The
Wellcome Image Awards celebrate the best images acquired by the Wellcome Images
picture library over the past 18 months. Sixteen winning images were recently
selected by a judging panel, based not only on their visual appeal but also
their technical excellence and ability to convey the fascination of science.
University
of Cambridge researchers were responsible for a quarter of the winning images.
Showing bacteria, biofilms, seedlings and chicken embryos, the images created
by the researchers display the beauty that can be harnessed using modern
technology to magnify the insignificant and undetectable to a microscopic
scale, creating an array of surprisingly stunning images.
Now in
their 15th year, the Wellcome Image Awards were established to reward
contributors to the collection for their outstanding work.
