Every year, a panel of judges at London's Wellcome Collection of medical photographs selects the best of the year's acquisitions. This striking collection, reproduced here, represents the best medical images of the year. The 19 images cover a wide variety of subjects and techniques, from the above picture of aspirin crystals to a picture of a seed taken with an electron microscope. This year’s winners show how unexpectedly artistic objects such as your bone, skin, and even your intestine can be, and we've got them all here for you.
