Every year, GE Healthcare runs a competition to find the best microscopic cell images of the year—and here are some of our favorites from the shortlist.
You can actually go look at all of them over on GE’s website andvote for your own favorites, which will help decide which one is crowned the 2014 winner. (For your efforts, you can also snag a free calendar made up of the images.) Though we’re not trying to influence you, below are a few of our favorites. [GE]

Mouse spermatocyte spread stained for KASH-5 and SCP3 (red and green) and DNA (blue).
