Review of RMS International Micrograph Competition 2010
 |
This year's RMS International Micrograph Competition 2010 attracted hundreds of entries. Fifty-two were short-listed and were on display during the Microscience 2010 International Conference and Exhibition (28th June - 1st July 2010, Excel, London). The competition was in association with Imaging and Microscopy, and the Editorial Director, Dr Martin Friedrich, was one of the judges. He was joined by Professor Chris Hawes of Oxford Brookes University, and Dr John Hutchison from the University of Oxford. There were four categories; Light Microscopy - Life Science, Light Microscopy - Materials Science, Electron Microscopy - Life Science, and Electron Microscopy - Materials Science.
"The micrograph competition is a great way for entrants to expose their work to a wider audience," says Professor Hawes. "We are all very familiar with images from our own fields but it is fantastic to see unfamiliar views and techniques on display. They appeal to our inquisitive nature, and you want to find out a little more. And, what is great about Microscience is that the person that captured the image might be on hand to do so. In this way, the competition is all about outreach and goes way beyond simply being a collection of 'pretty pictures'."
Exhibitors at Microscience 2010 donated the prizes that included an iPad and a diamond!
