The Global Winner
 | The winning image was taken by Ainara Pintor (Spain). The stunning fluorescence image shows the immunostaining of Thy1-EGFP mouse brain slice with two fluorophores. In green, the excitatory hippocampal neurons, which express Green Fluorescent Protein under Thy1 promoter. In red, Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein revealed with Alexa Fluor 594 antibody. In blue, cell nuclei labelled with DAPI. Captured with a super resolution confocal microscope system. |
Regional Winners
Americas | Europe, the Middle East and Africa | Asia-Pacific |
The winning image was taken by Tagide deCarvalho (U.S.A.). The beautiful fluorescence image shows the inside of a tardigrade with colorful details. | Alan Prescott (U.K.) 's image won the EMEA regional prize.

This remarkable image shows the autofluorescence of a mouse embryo with 950 tiles stitched together. |
Honorable Mentions
 This is the ovary of a gall-inducing wasp anselmella miltoni girault showing their eggs captured with a confocal microscope. |  Inflorescence of arabidopsis thaliana with young, developing flower buds expressing a fluorescent reporters. |  A preparation of amino acids L glutamine and beta alanine crystalized out of an ethanol solution and photographed at 50X using polarizing filters. |
 Mouse spinal cord with a GFP expression and cleared with the CLARITY method. |  Image of 3D depth: color-coded reconstruction of confocal images of tubulin (microtubuli) in mitotic COS7 monkey fibroblast cells. |  Captured a part of foldable wings of an insect, and named as “a road in the sky”, because veins look like roads and spines on wing membrane are like stars. |
 Different photonic crystals in insects on the elytron of the longhorned beetle Sternotomis pulchra. |  Nuclei (red) and microtubules (green) highlight the neurons of the brain. |  This image shows the green gem material, prase opal, which when magnified through a microscope remarkable resembles an aerial view of a coastline. |
