SMALL WORLD 2011
Celebrating 37 years of excellence in photography through the microscope, The Nikon International Small World Competition is dedicated to furthering creativity and excellence in photomicrography. Combining microscopy and photography, a photomicrographer is able to capture an image of the world that the naked eye cannot see. Take a moment to browse the Small World galleries and have a look at our past winners.
