Life expresses itself in beautiful ways. In this exhibit, you’ll be convinced that the intelligence that shapes life is the greatest artist of all.

The Nikon Small World Competition first began in 1975 as a means to recognize and applaud the efforts of those involved with photography through the light microscope. Since then, Small World has become a leading showcase for photomicrographers from the widest array of scientific disciplines.

These 2024 winners prove the point that the most beautiful things come in small packages.

Wow, the magnification and beauty of the shapes and vibrancy of colors were amazing. Some of the yuckiest specimens were the most beautiful. Very interesting and surprising. Thanks!

Amazing images—many look like they're from a sci-fi movie.

Looking at these microscopic pictures, I'm reminded of a scientist's statement expressing doubt regarding the existence of energy meridians and chakras. They believed that if such things existed, our technological ability to capture photonic and microscopic images would reveal them.
