Selected from over 50 entries, the first ever Olympus Early Career Scientist Microscopy Award has been presented to two researchers.
Alessandro Bianchi (MRC, Sussex) has gained two years’ unrestricted use of an Olympus Scan^R modular microscope-based imaging platform. This screening station, designed for fully-automated image acquisition and data analysis of biological samples will be used for his work on the characterisation of end-protection and repression of telomerase action at normal-length telomeres.
Wynand van der Goes van Naters (Cardiff University School of Biosciences) has been awarded an Olympus BX51WI fixed-stage upright microscope that offers new levels of image clarity for electrophysiological experiments. The two successful applicants were presented with their award certificates at a celebration lunch, held at the Royal Society of Medicine’s Chandos House, London.
