Nikon’s Small World photomicrography competition winners

The Nikon Small World photomicrography competition has announced its winners, showcasing stunning microscopic images of cells and other tiny structures. The images, which were captured using various microscopes, reveal intricate details that are invisible to the naked eye. The winning images include a 'rainstorm' of mitochondria, which are the energy-producing structures within cells, and other breathtaking views of the microscopic world.

The images were captured using techniques such as fluorescence microscopy and confocal microscopy, which allow for the visualization of specific structures within cells. The winners will receive awards and recognition for their work. While the winning images are a testament to the power of microscopic imaging, some of the images lack clear explanations of the techniques used to capture them.

The Atlantic, on the other hand, provides a more detailed explanation of the techniques used to capture the images, highlighting the importance of fluorescence microscopy in revealing the intricate details of cells.
