Microscopy photography

I had missed it, but you should try and look at this marvelous collection of microscopy pictures found at the Nikon’s annual Small World photomicrography competition in 2009. They honored 20 images of very high-quality. Not something that everyone of us would be able to do, but a very beautiful display: 35 Years of the World’s Best Microscope Photography.

Some really look like art pieces more than mere photographs of nature phenomenons.
