據英國《新科學家雜志》報道，英國維康信托(Wellcome Trust)基金會下屬機構維康圖片在過去十年間對創造性地探索醫學、社會歷史、衛生保健和生物學領域的優秀攝影作品進行了評選和頒獎。日前，該機構公布了獲得2009年度醫學攝影獎的19幅攝影作品：
1 天堂鳥花種子
這是天堂鳥花(學名“Strelitzia reginae”)種子的掃描電子顯微照片。這種植物是南非所特有的，它長著非常獨特的橙色和藍色花朵。據了解，攝影師安妮－卡瓦納(Annie Cavanagh)最初買來天堂鳥花種子是用來研究水彩畫顏料，但戴夫－麥卡錫(Dave McCarthy)用掃描電子顯微鏡對其進行觀察，并拍攝下這張美麗的照片。

This plant is native to South Africa and has a distinctive orange and blue flower, which resembles an exotic bird. The seed was originally bought to become the study of a watercolour painting by Annie Cavanagh, but Dave McCarthy's interest in it produced this stunning image.
