The Royal Photographic Society
is hosting the event alongside the Science and Technology Facilities Council;
where one hundred images form a stunning new photographic exhibition that
demonstrates the role played by imaging across many areas of science.
The photographs included in the exhibition exploit a range of
techniques, such as CT and MRI scanning, X-ray technology and
refraction-measuring "Schlieren" imaging.
Some selected images from the exhibition:
