These Are Some Of The Best Microscopic Images Of The Year

Every year, GE Healthcare runs a competition to find the best microscopic cell images of the year — and here are some of our favourites from the shortlist.

You can actually go look at all of them over on GE’s website and vote for your own favourites, which will help decide which one is crowned the 2014 winner. (For your efforts, you can also snag a free calendar made up of the images.) Though we’re not trying to influence you, below are a few of our favourites. [GE]
