To celebrate our 50th anniversary, RBR ran a photo contest for users to focus their skills and submit their favourite pictures of RBR instruments in action. It clearly captured your interest and we were really impressed with what developed. Judging was very difficult and it certainly wasn’t a snap decision as all of the entries were fantastic and none were seen as negative.

Unlike the above puns, the following were standouts chosen from the large number that we received, clearly capturing what drives RBR users to want to understand more about our Blue Planet. Congratulations to all of our winners and we hope that you enjoy your prize packs.

Thank you to everybody who submitted photographs – please remember that we always welcome your photos of our instruments being used.
