"Now in its 35th year, the Nikon Small World competition recognizes the art of photomicrography, with specimens spanning biological, industrial, and geological sciences.
Judges assess images for both scientific and artistic qualities, with the leading images displaying strengths in both areas. The images' impact, technical proficiency, originality, and informational contribution to the scientific community are all criteria used to evaluate the entries."


The images

And here's another way to see them.

I have two Leica MZ12 microscopes and need to try some photomicroscopy again. As it is, my setting is not really stable enough, so that I get some vibration at times. It really takes a well isolated setup for best results.

The images in the Nikon contest are beautiful.
