Best Pictures of Microscopic Life, 2008

I like to post great pictures I have seen. I came across this set of microscopic life from National Geographic that I thought I would share.



This is a fairy-fly wasp and it is 0.2 millimeters long. This was taken by M.I. "Spike" Walker, a British photographer.



This is by Montana psychiatrist Stephen Nagy. Magnified by 40 times, this is a 20-million-year-old fossil of an extinct breed of algae.



This 30X image, by Briton David Walker, is of snail "teeth".

These three winners along with the other nine contest winners, and 70 honorable mentions, were recognized at the Camerawork gallery in San Francisco on December 14, 2008.
