More than 230 images submitted to 2025 RMS Scientific Imaging Competition

An impressive 234 entries have been submitted to the 2025 RMS Scientific Imaging Competition following a great response from the microscopy community.

The submissions were received across six different categories covering all forms of microscopy and imaging within the sciences. It's the second highest number of submissions on record - just falling two short of the 236 received in 2017.

A team of RMS judges will now decide on a shortlist of the best entries, which will be displayed in a gallery at mmc2025 in Manchester - where the final winners will also be announced. 

The RMS Imaging Competition takes place every two years, providing a great outlet for those who can capture the breath-taking and engaging beauty of the microscopical world. It now also includes a 'short video' category, showcasing the very best moving images captured under the microscope.
