The microscopic world is more beautiful than ours. 20 photomicrographs 🔬 that won the recent competition

I bet most of those who have gone into this material have never seen a snowflake, table salt or tick head in such a close-up. There is an excellent reason to correct this annoying misunderstanding – the winners of the 47th Nikon Small World photomicrography competition have just been announced. The grand prize went to Jason Kirk of Baylor College of Medicine, who managed to get a close-up of a living southern oak leaf. To do this, he made 200 frames and processed them in post-production. However, the rest of the photos look no less exciting. Therefore, it makes sense to evaluate them as well.
