“Life imitates art imitates life.” Most of this photography is from Nikon’s Small World Photomicrography Competition. From their site:
Small World is regarded as the leading forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope. For over 30 years, Nikon has rewarded the world’s best photomicrographers who make critically important scientific contributions to life sciences, bio-research and materials science.
Scientists aren’t often known for creating great works of art, but it’s hard to argue that the photos above, and others like them, are not fascinating pieces that evoke a sense of excitement and mystery.
