Nikon's 202 Small World Photomicrography Competition

Let's take a look at the world through a different lens. Night has announced the winners of its 2023 small world photo contest taking home the gold in first place is an image of a rodents, optic nerve. Wow, that was captured by researchers who are studying human vision loss. Second place is a striking of a matchstick being ignited as it gets struck across the surface of a box. And this year's photo competition received nearly 1900 entries from 72 countries. And I think what so is just the detail in both of these images that so vivid that really, I think makes them stand out. I mean, these are simple everyday things that happen on our planet multiple times a day. And you're right to see it at the scope. This looks like a painting. The first one we saw and even the match striking. That was incredible. I love, I love these photos and you know, it makes you appreciate the day to day things. I'm always in awe, stuff like this. Absolutely.
