SHANGRALA'S
MICROSCOPIC
WINNERS!
|
These photographs are the finalists in a competition organized by microscope producer FEI, where the U.S.
Firm asks its customers to send in their best images. And even though the microscopes
themselves only produce black-and-white images users are able to inject color
to the frames, making them even more remarkable.
Many of the artists are scientists, indulging in their creative side for the competition, preferring to describe themselves as 'microscopists' rather than photographers. Scary monsters and super creeps - the ugly little stars of this photograph contest are both terrifying and beautiful. These images capture the smallest of creatures, most of them imperceptible to the naked eye. With the help of microscopes they have been magnified hundreds of times to reveal the small details proving what exists in a part of the natural world which we can only see when looking at it through a microscope. |
Now We Can See Why God
Made Them That Way. Enjoy! :)
The eyes of a mosquito magnified 450
times giving each eye a violet hue.
Scary fish: The head of an embryonic zebra fish used for
studies into the genetic causes of neurodegeneration,
looks more like something out of The Mummy when
magnified 500 times in a microscope
Cute-y beauty: Caterpillar looks more cute and fluffy
than terrifying when put under a microscope
Fluffy pig: The waterdwelling Tardigrade is also known
as waterbears of moss piglets due to their fluffed up
appearance, something which becomes self-explanatory
when it is magnified 300 times
Supersized: The leg of a Gecko, left,
and an Argulus, a freshwater parasite, right
Like a moth to a flame: Head of a moth gets the
supersize treatment from the microscope
Time for an autumn clean: A dust mite on dust times
520 is a sight enough for even the messiest of us
to grab the vacuum cleaner
Area 51: This Lamnacarus ornatus looks more
like an alien spaceship than a mite
Open wide: Both this spider and a parrot-like
marineworm look like they are going for the kill
Big bear: Another shot of a 'moss piglet' or
Tardigrade, an animal which lives in moss and
'awakes' when the moss gets wet
Dancing baby bloodsucker: A newborn tick
stretches its legs for the camera
Up close and personal: The head of a dirty fly
and parasite found living on a mosquito larva
M-larvellous: A mosquito larva as seen
under a super-microscope
Small beast: A hydrothermal marine worm 525
times its normal size is photographed
