25 Incredible Microscopic Photos from Nikon's Small World Photography Contest
In celebration of 50 years of images captured by the light microscope, Nikon’s Small World competition is considered the premier platform for highlighting the beauty and intricacy of life as observed through a light microscope.
The Photomicrography Competition invites anyone passionate about microscopy and photography to participate. Additionally, the Small World In Motion video competition includes any films or digital time-lapse photography captured through the microscope.
The Nikon Small World Competition was launched in 1975 to honor and celebrate the contributions of those engaged in photography through the light microscope. Since its inception, Small World has evolved into a premier platform for photomicrographers across a diverse range of scientific fields.
