Micrograph Award – send us your work and win a conference trip
The Raith micrograph award gives all Raith users the opportunity to share their interesting results and attractive micrographs with the larger international user community, while earning the chance to win a free trip to a conference of their choice!
To participate in the award, you should submit up to three micrographs of applications showing nanostructures which were created using a Raith nanofabrication system or lithography attachment. Multiple submissions are welcomed, provided that each submission covers a different application and the micrographs within a submission all cover the same application. Please note that each single submission requires a new registration. In addition to your address details, you should submit a description of your micrograph as well as a brief overview of your scientific motivation. We also accept pictures showing “accidents” as long as they display a unique nano- or microstructure.
Winner Applications
The Raith Micrograph Award is not about honoring the most beautiful micrograph of your results, but the one with the most fascinating scientific background. Although the micrograph’s visual appeal and image quality are considered, all submissions are evaluated based particularly on the uniqueness of the nanostructure, the technical quality of the image, and the description of the micrograph.
