The goal of The Iowa Art in Science Contest is to recognize the combination of outstanding scientific discovery and artistic appeal inherent to microscopy research. Images from any mode of microscopy can be used, and any form of colorization, manipulation and compositing is completely acceptable. Be creative, have fun!

Also, the 2025 CMRF calendar featuring 2024 Art in Science images is now available. Stop by the CMRF and pick one up, or contact Randy Nessler(link sends e-mail).
