Photographing the Microscopic: Winners of Nikon Small World 2019
ALAN TAYLOR OCTOBER 21, 2019
21 PHOTOS IN FOCUS

Nikon has announced the winners of the 2019 Small World Photomicrography Competition, and has once more shared some of the winning and honored images with us. The contest invites photographers and scientists to submit images of all things visible under a microscope. This year, first place was awarded to Teresa Zgoda and Teresa Kugler for their painstakingly prepared photo of a turtle embryo, using fluorescence and stereo microscopy. More than 2,000 entries were received from 100 countries in 2019, the 45th year of the competition.

Why does this guy have his horse at the beach ?

Why is it lying down ... and on a pile of sand ?

Why do its markings look so strange ?

Oh, wait ...

The beach IS the horse !

Do any other organisms have more than two eyes? Do any have just one eye?
