The finalists of the 2015 Wellcome Image Awards have been announced. From insectoid eyes and cat tongues to curved spines and boll weevils, here are the most spectacular science photos of the past year. 
Top image: The boll weevil as seen through a scanning electron miscroscope (Daniel Kariko/Wellcome Images).
"The breath-taking riches of the imagery that science generates are so important in telling stories about research and helping us to understand often abstract concepts," noted scientist and broadcaster Adam Rutherford in a Wellcome Images release. "It's not just about imaging the very small either, it's about understanding life, death, sex and disease: the cornerstones of drama and art. Once again, the Wellcome Image Awards celebrate all of this and more with this year's incredible range of winning images."
