Wow, you can get a free poster of the winning images at the second link. Thanks for the link, Mo!

thanks, mo - love these competitions, always fascinated by new ways in which biology and beauty can intersect

You might be interested to know that the 2008 winners of the Olympus BioScapes microscope photography competition were just announced yesterday. Once again, the intersection of science and art is awe-inspiring. A photo of a tiny wasp took first prize. Check them all out at www.olympusbioscapes.com.

Can anyone tell me where I can get the free poster referred to above? More generally, are the images available as high resolution downloads that I could get blown up for my wall? Thx
