2nd Scientific Image Contest in Nanoscience
Entry Instructions
Keep in mind!!!
Since this is a nanoscience image competition it is expected that images contain nano-objects. A nano-object is an object with a size less than 1000 nm (1 micron). To properly assess the object size, all images are required to exhibit a scale with properly identified units. Images with no scale will be disqualified. Images with objects larger than 1000 nm can be submitted, however the judges will decide whether the image is eligible or not.
Categories
-
Electron-based microscopy (SEM, STEM, TEM, STM, FESEM.)
-
Atomic-based microscopy (AFM, MFM, EFM)
-
Other nanoimaging techniques (LEED, RHEED, EELS)
Image size
A template is provided for downloading. Please attach the image there and submit both the template and image separately.
Use the best resolution. Image size must not exceed 5 MB.
Rules
Each file must contain only one image. Files with several images will be disqualified.
All images must have a short description emphasizing its contents or physical/chemical meaning.
Editing
Electron-based microscopy or other nanoimaging techniques images can be edited only for color. No other editing is
allowed.
Atomic-based microscopy images can only be edited for color only when original images are in black and white.
If an image is found to be edited for any other feature than color, it will be disqualified.
Evaluation criteria
A panel of scientific judges will evaluate the images in each category. The aspects under evaluation are:
Image Aesthetics: Proper distribution of image components.
Excellent resolution, combination of colors, projection. Image is not blurred or fuzzy.
Image contents: The object in the image is well focused, centered, first plane, second plane. The object is observed
partially, the image projects something relevant on the research.
Oral Presentation: If necessary, the judges will call participants for an explanation of the image.
Prizes
For each category a prize along with a certificate will be awarded.
The prize will be announced soon. Winners will be announced the forth day of the event.
Subsmission deadline
