FocalPlane 1-year Anniversary Image Competition
Last month we asked you to submit your favourite images acquired using any microscopy modality. Now it’s time for you the community to decide your favourite ones. The image with the most votes will be featured on the cover of Journal of Cell Science in October! You can browse all of the entries below. Click on each image to enlarge. At the bottom of the page you will find the voting form. Select your favourite image and then press the blue ‘Vote’ button at the bottom of the form to register your choice. The voting will close on Wednesday, 11 August at 5pm (UK time). Happy voting and good luck to all contestants!
