The CMC has a longstanding international reputation for the application of microscopy, in particular immuno-electron microscopy, to biomedical questions in all types of cells and tissues. Since 1990, the CMC has established a prize that is given to a very nice picture of a photogenic cellular structure, but also represent a body of research coupled - to a certain extent - to a technical and/or scientific advance in microscopy. The scope of the CMC prize includes electron microscopy as well as light microscopy, and it is given to a person carrying research at the Department of Cell biology. All winning images and the names of the winners are shown below, and they can be enlarged by clicking.
