Wellcome Image Awards 2011
continues to dazzle us this huge capacity to surprise involving the world of scientific research. The "Wellcome Image Awards 2011" lets us look behind the scenes of building one of the largest medical libraries in the world, awarding a huge variety of images of exceptional technical quality, coming from physicians and scientists.
Mouse embryo animation (organs of a mouse embryo) optical projection tomography , Ian Smyth
Wellcome Trust brought together the most significant photographic records acquired by the foundation over the past 18 months and selected 21 works. The award-winning images, ranging from the clinical picture of the life sciences, was presented on February 23 at Wellcome Collection in London, where he will be on display until July 10.

"It's easy to forget that behind each of these intriguing images there is a complex story of scientific pursuit. We seek hundreds of images of scientists and artists year after year, providing an excellent opportunity to make visible the cutting-edge science and the people who are across the images.
