2022 Optics Photo Contest
IDEX Health & Science hosted our first Optics Photo Contest this past month. We hoped participants would join the life science optics community in the rare opportunity to feature their best scientific images curated with optical filters. We wanted to applaud individuals who exemplify mastery in their field and demonstrate their expertise through the use of state-of-the art optical filters to capture every photon possible.
To that end, we’re delighted to announce that, while we received many fantastic entries, we have officially selected our top two favorites as winners of the 2022 Optics Photo Contest. Each winner will be receiving a $50 VISA Gift Card and a customized YETI mug as a thank you for their participation.
Please join us in congratulating Daniel Han of Diatoms Australia and Daisuke Inoue of Kyushu University! Scroll down to see our favorite submissions. We hope to host another contest in the future, and we look forward to seeing the amazing scientific images your instruments are able to capture.
