One hundred images form a stunning new photographic exhibition that demonstrates the role played by imaging across many areas of science.
The show reveals many aspects of Nature not usually visible to the naked eye.
The Royal Photographic Society is hosting the event alongside the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Currently on display in Newcastle as part of the British Science Festival, it will shortly tour the UK, Europe and China.
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.
This is the second time the International Images for Science exhibition has taken place. It began in 2011, after the number of scientific images included in the International Print Exhibition declined.
Most pictures were created by scientists as part of their research. Dorit Hockman, from the University of Cambridge, took the photograph of bat embryos shown below. She told the BBC: "I am trying to understand vertebrate embryo development.
"These images allowed me to describe the stages in development of bat limbs. The embryos had been sitting in a lab in Houston for 20 years and I found them and photographed them. The bat species are long-limbed gliders and it is interesting to compare how their wings develop compared with more typical short-winged bats."
We selected our favourite images from the exhibition.
