Microscopy Today  Innovation Awards

 

Description

Each year Microscopy Today presents ten awards to organizations or individuals who have launched or published innovations in microscopy or microanalysis. Winning products and methods are selected based on their usefulness to the microscopy community. The entries most likely to win are those that provide better, faster, easier, or entirely new methods of analysis using a microscope or microanalytical instrument.

Nominations

Entries may come from colleagues or as self-nominations. There are only four questions on the entry form. There is no charge to enter this competition.

Eligibility

Entries will be accepted only for the following: (a) new commercial microscopy-related products that were first marketed in the previous calendar year or (b) new microscopy methods and inventions that were first published in peer-reviewed journals in the previous calendar year. While multiple entries from the same organization are allowed, a single company or individual cannot receive more than one award in a given year. Officers and editors of the Microscopy Society of America and their subcontractors are not eligible.

Previous Winners

Descriptions of winning products and methods are published in the September issue of Microscopy Today. These descriptions can be accessed at no charge: go to www.microscopy-today.com, select website, select ‘Article Collections’ from the menu bar.
