- I am particularly pleased that the award highlights the potential of 3D technology in terms of scientific, educational, and aesthetic aspects, says Csaba Adori.
This is how the Lennart Nilsson Award justifies the appointment:
"Csaba Adori is awarded the 2024 Lennart Nilsson Award for his scientific 3D photography of tissues. In the spirit of Lennart Nilsson, he not only highlights the scientific aspects of tissue structures or their pathology but also the beauty in anatomical details. His artistically presented images provide an overview of several millimeters with micrometer resolution, contributing to the scientific understanding of structures such as the inner ear and the human brainstem. His material is used in teaching, and he reaches beyond the academic world by sharing videos of the human microcosm, which arouses curiosity and fascination."

The Lennart Nilsson Award is a foundation that annually awards a prize to a photographer who fulfills the foundation's purpose of promoting education, teaching, and research. In 2023, the photographer Fredrik Pleijel received the award.
