Small wonder

[Text and image from New Scientist webpage about the Nikon Small World competition]

Images of the microscopic never fail to amaze and since 1974 the Nikon Small World prize has recognised the very best work in the field. This year's winners range from dazzling views of tiny animals to surprisingly artistic scenes from inside shaving cream, in a portfolio of work from both scientists and artists.
Check out these superlatively artistic images that give a glimpse into the fascinating and beautiful world of microscopic scale.
