PHOTOMICROGRAPH COMPETITION

A photomicrograph serves as both a technical document with significant value to science or industry and an artistic image whose structure, color, composition, and content can be appreciated for its beauty. It invites multiple levels of understanding and interpretation.

There are no restrictions on the subject matter, and any type of microscopy technique is welcome, including phase contrast, polarized light, fluorescence, electron microscopy, interference contrast, darkfield, confocal, deconvolution, or a combination of these methods.

The submitted entries are evaluated by an independent panel of experts, all recognized authorities in photomicrography and photography. These entries are judged based on originality, informational content, technical proficiency, and visual impact.
