Finalists for the 2020 Microscopy Today Micrograph Awards
Competition finalists shown on the cover are identified below. Te identity and affiliation of the submitters were not known to the judges. Te larger number of Open category finalists reflects the larger number of entries in that category. Prize winners will be named in the Microscopy Today section of the awards presen- tation at the virtual M&M meeting in August. Finalist micrographs may be viewed at the 2020 gallery (see website at the bottom of this page). Te microscopy community may vote for the People’s Choice Award at the same website.
