What does your science look like? 👀 The Best Scientific Image Contest 2026 is now open!
Share your most striking scientific image & let it travel far beyond the lab. Awards & more await.
Submit by May 1 👉 awards.helmholtz-imaging.de/site/index.php
Open to everyone working at @helmholtz.de.
This image shows Kathryn Spiers, GEO magazine in her hand, standing in a beamline at DESY. She is one of the co-authors of the image “Rare Earth Element Fern”, that was awarded 2nd prize (Public Choice) at the Helmholtz Imaging Best Scientific Image Contest 2025, and that was recently featured in GEO magazine.
A winning image from the #HelmholtzImaging Best Scientific Image Contest 2025 was featured in GEO magazine. “Rare Earth Element Fern” by @kathryn-s.bsky.social et al shows how scientific images can reach far beyond research. Our next call opens spring '26. All winning images 👉 bit.ly/BSIC2025-Gal...

Screenshots von Analysetools für 3D Bilddaten. Das erste Bild zeigt die Segmentierung verschiedener Organellen einer Betazelle. Das zweite Bild zeigt die Verteilung der Insulingranula in dieser Zelle.
Diagramme zur 3D Verteilung von Insulingranula im Verhältnis zum Golgi Apparat.
Wenn alles hübsch segmentiert ist, wollen wir natürlich auch noch Daten gewinnen. Z.B. wieviel Insulin in den Zellen ist und wie es verteilt ist, oder mit anderen Organellen interagiert. Dafür nutzten wir Tools, die von @helmholtzimaging.bsky.social entwickelt wurden (siehe Bild).
The Helmholtz Platforms Roadshow is tomorrow! 👏
Join us at 11 AM CEST to explore how Helmholtz Imaging & our partner platforms can support your research. 👇
Our colleagues Sara Krause-Solberg & Philipp Heuser will be there — bring your questions and join the discussion!
