The Trail-Crisp Award, of the Linnean Society of London, was established in 1966 and is an amalgamation of The Trail Award and The Crisp Award (both founded in 1910).[1] The Trail-Crisp Award is presented at intervals "in recognition of an outstanding contribution to biological microscopy that has been published in the UK".[2]
