[FILM-Users 00301] FILM Image Competition: From dolphins to Paris... THE WINNER

[Martin Spitaler]

Dear microscopists,

  again, our FILM Image Of The Year 2012 competition has produced some 
spectacular images, but at the end, one image had the edge for the 
judges. As Catherine Wood from Tate Modern put it: ""Purely as a strong 
image I think the ventricle photograph number 10 is stunning... They are 
all beautiful though".

  So this year's winner of the FILM Image Of The Year competition is: 
ANITA ALVAREZ LAVIADA with her beautiful image of cardiomyocytes. 
Believe it or not, she has only just learned using our microscopes last 
October, and has convinced our judges straightaway. Congratulations, 
Anita, a really impressive achievement! I'm sure you will enjoy the 
first prize, the iPod nano, during your time at the microscopes.

  See the winning image and all other entries on our website:

  A big THANKS to all entrants, but also to the JUDGES, who didn't have 
it easy - and of course, last but not least, to MOLECULAR PROBES / LIFE 
TECHNOLOGIES for their generous sponsorship.

  And as you can imagine, the calendars with the best 12 images look 
very impressive - they are still available, for £20 you can order your 
own copy.

  Those who didn't make it for the top prize, don't forget there are 
other competitions out there, have a look at the links on the FILM 
website under LINKS / MEETINGS, COURSES, COMPETITIONS. And those who 
didn't submit an image this year - the next one is only ten months away, 
so start watching out for that special one...

Congratulations, and good imaging in 2013,

Martin
