Drosophila melanogaster embryonic nervous system
SEM image of a Bacterial culture from a mobile phone. The average handset carries 18 times more potentially harmful germs than a fl ush handle in a men’s toilet, tests have revealed.
Steve Gschmeissner 2nd Prize
Meet the Locals
False coloured SEM image that resembles a colony of strange creatures milling about on a rock face. What the image actually shows is a close up of a ragworm’s head. The ragworm is a type of marine worm.
Anne Weston, The Francis Crick Institute
Electron Microscopy - Physical Sciences 1st Prize
Shaped electron wavefunction
Zeroth order diffracted intensity of a structured electron beam generated using a focused-ion- beam-prepared holographic aperture comprising a superposition of two Laguerre-Gaussian states with quantum numbers L and p of (4,4) and (-4,2), respectively.
Mohammad Mofatteh, MRC-Laboratory of Molecular Biology
2nd Prize Border Patrol
Inside the brain ventricles, the choroid plexus (right corner)<br>represents the barrier between the body immune system (Macrophages, green round cells) and the brain-specifi c counterpart (Microglia, green ramifi ed cells in left corner). Immunofl uorescent image acquired via Leica laser scanning confocal microscope. Green:Iba1 (Immune cells) Red:Laminin (blood vessels) Blue:DAPI (cell nuclei). Image size: 0.5 x 0.5 mm.

2nd Prize Micronphone
This biomimetic form is a self-assembled inorganic structure of barium carbonate that mimics life in fossil form. And at the same time reminds us an old micrometer-scale microphone. The image was acquired with a scanning electron microscope at 1kV in deceleration mode.

Pattern in a TiO2 sol-gel created by viscous fi ngers and light interference. Refl ected light 200x magnifi cation
In a sol-gel process, particles in a colloidal solution (sol) are converted to form a solid
Beautifully repeated segments of Drosophila melanogaster embryonic nervous system, stage 16/17, ventral view. Stained for Futsch (green, segmented sensory neurons and dispersed cell bodies in the ventral nerve cord) and Ank2-L (magenta, segmented ventral nerve cord and a subset of sensory neurons). Imaged with a Zeiss LSM780 confocal microscope.
network (gel). Here, a spin-coated liquid sol film was covered by glass slide. Before solidifying air displaces the sol forming the viscous fingers pattern. The thin film interferes with visible light creating the colours.
Claire Trease, Kingston University 2nd Prize
Natural growth marks on beryl
Differential interference contrast microscopy technique using a Nikon Eclipse LV100 microscope. Magnifi cation 20x Field of view 0.72mm
Jonathan Muyal, Gemological Institute of America
Scanning Probe Microscopy 1st Prize Light harvesting complex 2 (LH2)
Highest resolution image of single LH2 nonamer rings where defects in the ring are visible and single subunits can be discerned.
Sandip Kumar, University of Sheffi eld 2nd Prize Entraped bacteria
This Atomic Force Microscopy image show E. coli cells under a blanket made of Graphene Oxide sheets. This is one of the mechanisms of Graphene Oxide antibacterial activity.
