The world of scientific study can be dazzlingly beautiful. Check out the winning photos from 40 years of Nikon’s annual “Small World” contest winners on CNN. These images are captured by a light microscope and called “photomicrographs.” The field of study that works to capture these images is “micrography.” The photos are not only a form of art, but can capture and illuminate important scientific data about the subjects.
If you can’t get enough of micrography, here is a link to a listing of all the Nikon “Small World” galleries.
