The Wellcome Image Awards 2011, celebrating the most striking and technically excellent images acquired by the Wellcome Images picture library in the past 18 months, were presented at Wellcome Collection in London on 23 February.
This year’s winners have used techniques ranging from clinical photography to brain tractography to capture the wonder of medicine and the life sciences in all of their glorious splendour.
The winning images can be viewed on the Wellcome Image Awards website. Each of the 20 extraordinary images and one animation was been selected by a panel of judges including Alice Roberts (anatomist, author and science broadcaster), Adam Rutherford (TV presenter, science writer and multimedia editor at ’Nature’), Fergus Walsh (medical correspondent at the BBC) and Eric Hilaire (Picture Editor at the ’Guardian’).
