Student receives honourable mention for photo

ORC student Martynas Beresna recently received an honourable mention in the Optics & Photonics News After Image photo contest.

Martynas' entry, a microscope image of a 'birefringent rose' printed with a femtosecond laser in a 1 mm x 1 mm square, vied with 81 other submissions in the magazine's fiercest contest since it began 4 years ago.

Contest judge, President of Fovea Technologies and professional photographer, François Busque, commented "The way in which the rose is produced is very clever."

The winning photographs will be published in the November issue of Optics & Photonics News.

Currently, his group is working on printing meter size images in glass.
