Every year Nikon treats people to some of the most spectacular images the microscopic world has to offer when they unveal the winners of their annual Small World Photomicrography Competition. Last year Nature Methods highlighted the winning image on the cover of our November issue.

Now is the chance for all you scientist-photographers to comb through your favorite images or take spectacular new ones because yesterday Nikon announced that they are accepting submissions for this year's contest from now until April 30th.
