What IS that thing?

If you’ve ever wanted to take a peek through a microscope, then check out the superb photography on the Nikon small world website. The microscopic photography is full of colour and extremely beautiful.

The photography is inspiring for designers and artists, personally I’m amazed by the colours. It’s also a challenge to figure out what the picture actually is (before reading the helpful caption!) The site features a daily game to identify the image.

The site is well worth a visit.
