Event Details
Seeing is believing. Biological imaging takes us through a fascinating journey into the microscopic world of cellular components, cells and tissues, and makes us hear the stories of living cells when they are thriving or failing to do so.
Amazing Imaging started a way VNIR wanted to recognize, appreciate and celebrate cellular imaging by PhD students and research scholars. We invite researchers to participate in the contest.
In the “Amazing Imaging Edition 1” competition organized in 2020 several PhD students and young researchers participated with the images captured by them during their research. We are very happy to recognize the great contributions from some of them (images below).
Seeing this enthusiastic participation last year, we are happy to announce that we will continue the Amazing Imaging series!
Amazing Imaging Edition 2 officially opens on June 7, 2021 and will end on July 27, 2021. (We encourage early submissions to avoid last minute delays)
Prize.The award will come with a certificate, cash prize and VNIR products of applicant’s choice worth Rs. 25,000.
