Best micrograph contest - 31st October 2024

Dear users of CEITEC Nano RI,

Let me announce the upcoming Best Micrograph contest, which is part of the CzechNanoLab User Meeting.

Best micrograph contest - send your micrograph (one file per registered participant) in .tiff, .png or .jpg format to nano@ceitec.vutbr.cz by Friday, October 25, 2024. Please do not forget to provide a topic for your micrograph and a brief description.

Micrographs are also planned to be used to popularize science at CEITEC. If you do not agree with this, please state this in your e-mail when sending the micrograph to the contest.

The best three micrographs will be awarded by valuable prices.

We look forward to seeing your micrograph!
CEITEC Nano Team.
