A painting can tell a million stories. With every click of the camera and the captured image, we tell stories and capture moments that will continue to live on in the photo. The wonders of microphotography is a new and unique method that opens the way for us to get acquainted with hitherto unknown microscopic organisms.
Microphotography - photographing enlarged images of microscopic objects using the optical system of a light microscope. With the help of a microscope, small and bizarre animals come to life in front of our eyes, multi-colored structures of various investigated substances are revealed.
The first to see the unexplored world of microorganisms was the Dutch naturalist and microscope designer Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, the "father of microbiology", who designed about 400 types of microscopes. He saw that all the animals and bacteria that he examined live in an enchanting world and may even sometimes look just adorable. Over the years, photographers continue and continue to explore and discover new sides and boundaries of the microcosm.
For several years now, the Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition has provided the world with the most intricate and complex microcosm that exists next to us. Photos taken with microscopes, various light filters, ultrasensitive cameras show us a world that we never imagined to see in such light.
The Small World Contest is also held annually to showcase “the beauty and complexity of life that we contemplate through a microscope.” The winner by public vote was a microphotograph of a chicken embryo taken by Tomas Pais de Azeved, a biology student from Lisbon, Portugal. … Voters chose the photo of Pais de Azevedo from 115 finalists. His work became the best photograph of 2008.
The bright fibers of the diatom algae are visible when photographed. The photograph belongs to the British Michael Stringer, who specializes in photographing microscopic objects.
Margaret Oechslі presented us with a landscape of medicines. Viewed through a polarizing filter, the antibiotic mitomycin powder flashed in different colors, revealing its intricate crystal sculpture.
By mixing resorcinol, methylene blue and sulfur, photomicrograph chemist John Hart from the University of Colorado obtained a crystalline structure that looks charming under a microscope.
