Shortlisted: “Hooks and Anchors” by Steve Lowry (Portstewart, Co. Londonderry). Polarised light micrograph of the skin of the sea cucumber, Synapta, showing paired spicules referred to as “plates and anchors”. “The sharp spikes of the anchors may act as a deterrent to potential predators, and are transparent, only becoming visible when viewed using polarised light”.
