Image Contest

In life science we analyse, investigate, exhibit, and illustrate via imaging. The huge variety of methods range from conventional hand held photography to light-, laser- or electron-microscopy - just to name some. We have the great opportunity to capture whole organisms, organs, cells, even atoms, and much more with sophisticated camera systems to better understand the wonders of nature.

Every PhD student is invited to participate in our Image Contest to present beautiful, special, and interesting images from their scientific work! Like in the last years we are currently organizing prizes and will keep you informed on this side.
