Surface of a mouse retina. It looks like a delicate floral structure. In fact it is the surface of a mouse retina. Produced by combining more than 400 images captured through a technique known as confocal microscopy, this digital reconstruction shows the retina’s blood vessels in blue while the red and green highlight cells known as astrocytes. These star-shaped cells are involved in myriad crucial processes that support and maintain neurons. Scientists hope that by understanding what astrocytes are up to as the retina deteriorates, they might find new ways to treat vision loss.

Hawaiian bobtail squid. This jaunty little Hawaiian bobtail squid was captured with close-up photography which produced a series of images that were then stitched together. The diminutive creature is a classic example of symbiosis: the squid offers a home and nutrients to light-producing bacteria, while the bacteria allow the squid to flit through the water without creating a telltale silhouette.

Unravelled DNA in a human lung cell. Multi-coloured and teardrop in shape, this was captured using super-resolution microscopy. It shows the nucleus of a lung cell which has been deformed due to a hitch during cell division. (Photo by Ezequiel Miron/University of Oxford/Wellcome Images)
Cat skin and blood supply. This image, captured from a Victorian microscope slide using polarised light microscopy shows, as the title reveals, cat skin and its blood supply. Fine hairs and thicker whiskers are shown in yellow while blood vessels are shown in black. More than 40 images were combined to produce the final colourful image.

Caricatural medieval medical practitioners. This digital illustration is darkly humorous, depicting a range of figures from an alchemist shown triumphantly clutching a flask to a surgeon pulling what looks like a string of sausages from the stomach of an alarmed-looking patient.

Two young boys in rural Nicaragua. This photograph highlights the devastating impact of chronic kidney disease in the Nicaraguan town of Chichigalpa. These brothers have lost cousins and uncles to a form of the disease which is thought to be linked to heavy labour in hot temperatures. (Photo by Joshua Mcdonald/Wellcome Images)Rita Levi-Montalcini. A striking portrait, this digital image depicts the late neurobiologist Rita Levi-Montalcini. A medical graduate in Italy in the late 1930s, she was forced to work in secret on her early research as a result of Mussolini’s antisemitic laws. She later moved to the US and went on to discover nerve growth factor, a breakthrough that scooped her half of the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1986.

Hidden Learning. This painting draws on the experiences of women in science, in particular reflecting the myriad aspects of life that women keep to themselves while at work. (Photo by Chrysalis project/University of St Andrews/Wellcome Images)
Zebrafish eye and neuromasts. This image was captured using confocal microscopy. The lens of the zebrafish is shown in red in the centre of the image, its nervous system is shown in blue, while the surrounding red structures are the neuromasts – cells which underpin the ability of fish to detect changes in the movement of the water. This in turn plays a role in all manner of behaviours including helping fish pick up the movements of prey. (Photo by Ingrid Lekk and Steve Wilson/University College London/Wellcome Images)
