MICROSCOPIC MASTERPIECES

Oct 31, 2025

Every year, the Nikon Small World competition celebrates the stunning art and science of microscopy, revealing the hidden beauty of life at its smallest scales.

The contest features two main categories: Photomicrography, for still images taken through a light microscope, and Small World in Motion, for videos and time-lapse microscopy. The results are as mesmerizing as they are educational. Enjoy, friends!

A touring exhibit of this year’s winners will visit Los Angeles, Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Durham, N.C., if you happen to be nearby.
