据英国《新科学家杂志》报道,英国维康信托(Wellcome Trust)基金会下属机构维康图片在过去十年间对创造性地探索医学、社会历史、卫生保健和生物学领域的优秀摄影作品进行了评选和颁奖。日前,该机构公布了获得2009年度医学摄影奖的19幅摄影作品:
1 天堂鸟花种子
这是天堂鸟花(学名“Strelitzia reginae”)种子的扫描电子显微照片。这种植物是南非所特有的,它长着非常独特的橙色和蓝色花朵。据了解,摄影师安妮-卡瓦纳(Annie Cavanagh)最初买来天堂鸟花种子是用来研究水彩画颜料,但戴夫-麦卡锡(Dave McCarthy)用扫描电子显微镜对其进行观察,并拍摄下这张美丽的照片。

This plant is native to South Africa and has a distinctive orange and blue flower, which resembles an exotic bird. The seed was originally bought to become the study of a watercolour painting by Annie Cavanagh, but Dave McCarthy's interest in it produced this stunning image.
