Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition
<http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2011/10/nikon_small_world_photomicrogr.htm
l> 

The Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition lets us see beyond the
capabilities of our unaided eyes. Almost 2000 entries from 70 countries vied
for recognition in the 37th annual contest, which celebrates photography
through a microscope. Images two through 21 showcase the contest's winners
in order, and are followed by a selection of other outstanding works.
Scientists and photographers turned their attention on a wide range of
subjects, both living and man-made, from lacewing larva to charged couple
devices, sometimes magnifying them over 2000 times their original size.
