Gallery: Trippy biomedical images from the Wellcome Trust

The Wellcome Trust is one of the largest biomedical charities in the world. In addition to funding research itself, Wellcome has a mission to engage and inform the public about the biological sciences in general. One of its efforts in this area is the online science magazine Mosaic, which has provided a number of articles we've run on Ars. Another resource they provide is the Wellcome Image Library, which hosts over 40,000 biomedical images.

Each year, the Wellcome goes through the recent acquisitions, and picks some of the most visually striking. The results are the Wellcome Image Awards, which are given out annually to the best of the previous year's acquisitions. We're pleased to bring you a selection of the 20 winners; to see them all, visit the 2015 Gallery.
