Dear microscopists, a reminder of our image competition, , the FILM IMAGE OF THE YEAR 2013-14!

Just copy your images out with a nice description and confirm by email to <film-service@imperial.ac.uk>. Thanks to generous sponsorship from Molecular Probes / Life Technologies, attractive prizes are waiting: *Winner *- an*iPod Nano*! ...for those long hours at the microscope _Runners-up_: a beautiful _A3 poster calendar_, worth £23! *EXTENDED deadline* for submission of your images: _*1st of December 2013*_ _*Judges *_ As in previous years, we have a prestigious panel of independent judges to select your best images: Kathy Nobel, Tate Modern Alex Ball, Natural History Museum Tatiana Schofield, Imperial College Consultants Melissa Belli, artist _ _ _Rules for participation_ * Up to 3 images per participant; they must show different samples (not different versions of the same image) * Images must have been taken on FILM microscopes (original data files must be made available) * Images will be judged purely on their visual impression, they do not need to show any scientific results, but a description of the scientific context is encouraged (and might make it more interesting for the judges) * The best possible visualisation of the image data is encouraged (e.g. contrast enhancement, look-up tables), but manipulation of pixel data is not allowed - the scientific content must still visible. Examples of manipulations not allowed are adding / removing of objects (retouching) or collages (copying objects together) * By submitting the images, participants grant FILM the right to make the entries publicly available on the FILM website, use them for the calendars or other presentations describing research peformed in the facility; please make sure they don't contain any identifiable unpublished information For inspirations from previous years and details see the website: <http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/imagingfacility/research/gallery/film_image_of_the_year/fioty-2013> So don't miss out, get your best microscopy images and go for the prizes!
