Scanning electron micrograph of aspirin crystals

Images of microscopic structures produced by staff from the School of Pharmacy, University of London, have again earned awards for their creators.

Multimedia unit supervisor Annie Cavanagh and experimental officer David McCarthy won three prizes in the Biomedical Image Awards 2006 hosted by the Wellcome Trust. The images are colour-enhanced scanning electron micrographs of aspirin crystals, human colon cancer cells in culture and a human embryonic stem cell growing on a layer of fibroblasts. They are on display at the Wellcome Library in London.

The winning images were selected from those submitted to the Wellcome Medical Photographic Library over the past year.

Earlier this year, Ms Cavanagh and Mr McCarthy won first prize in a competition organised by the UK Micro and Nanotechnology Network (PJ, 1 April, p376). Mr McCarthy has also won awards in the Novartis/Daily Telegraph Visions of Science photographic awards (PJ, 8 October 2005, p429 and PJ, 9 October 2004, p508).
