Friends and colleagues,
on the first week of June a NEW Nikon Imaging Center (NIC) will be open at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Diaspro Lab - IIT-LAMBS-2N (Nanobioimaging & Nanobiophotonics), in Genoa, Italy.
I am thinking to have nice images in the corridors of the new brand lab (www.nic.iit.it).

I am launching a sort of contest/call for images acquired from any Nikon microscope to be used for such a purpose. The call will close on May 7th.
Please, send you images to [hidden email] (or utilize dropbox or similia) with the subject “Image contest 20014 - NIC@IIT”. High image quality is requested for a high quality printed version. A figure legend is requested having the following information: Title (any title not necessarily scientific… say neurons’ forest or chromatin DNA organizational motif or purple rain); Author(s) with affiliation(s); Technical modalities (microscope, mechanism of contrast, objective etc…); Scientific Figure legend including a publication reference when needed; corresponding author email.

With my research group I will select 10 images and I am thinking to offer a prize for the first 3 classified and for all the 10 selected a printout like the one we will use at NIC@IIT. All participants will be acknowledged in the NIC@IIT webpage.

So…have a look in your image archives, grab new images…let your microscopes produce nice images…

Thank you for your help in setting up the first italian NIC.

All the best
Alby
