Incredible close-up shot of living human brain
A unique close-up image of a living human brain has won the Wellcome Prize for microscope photography after it was taken during a surgical procedure to treat a patient with epilepsy.
Taken by Robert Ludlow of UCL’s Institute of Neurology, the image is a rare shot of a living brain – a view normally only seen by neurosurgeons, showing veins, arteries and grey matter flushed pink with blood.
