Drug delivery image wins national competition

“Visualising drug delivery”, by David McCarthy, was the winning image in the “Concepts” category of this year’s Novartis/Daily Telegraph Visions of Science photographic awards. Mr McCarthy, an electron microscopist at the School of Pharmacy, University of London, captured the image of the polymer microcapsule containing smaller microcapsules by chance, when an air bubble burst on its surface during preparation. An exhibition of the winning images from each category begins at the Science Museum, London, this week.
