Rules for participation
Up to 3 images per participant, but 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
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 is still visible; example for , manipulations that are
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; please make
sure they don't contain any identifiable unpublished
information
So don't miss out, go through your microscopy images and go
for the prizes!
Good imaging,
Martin
