Biomedical Imaging Research Unit

Special mention award - 2024

In addition to Highly Commended awards, the BIRU sometimes confers a Special Mention award for an image that has special character, shows imagination and/or makes the judges smile or where the image is reminiscent of or symbolic of Aotearoa New Zealand, e.g. people, plants, animals and places! This year's winner represents one of our favourite native birds.

' Green Glow Tūī '
This image was observed under a fluorescence microscope and looks like a Tūī, an iconic bird endemic to New Zealand. This greenish image aligns beautifully with the natural appearance of this adorable native bird and cheered me up during my Master’s research journey.
