Deformation of a polyethylene folio . Polymer thin film after electric field and reactive ion etching. Cat tongue. Mouse epididymis. Meet the latest winners in Nikon's annual "Small World" photomicrography contest. The gallery goes all the way back to 1977. A little reminder that beauty is everywhere.

How the hell did they get the cat to hold still for that photo?

How the hell did they get the cat to hold still for that photo? A better question is, how did they get the mouse to hold still while they photographed its epididymis? *thinks about it* Oh. oh dear. My favorites: sulfuric acid, floppy disk surface, and coin.
