With photomicrography, you can do just that! This process uses a microscope and a camera to capture images of small objects or features that are too small for the naked eye to see. These images can show us the intricate structure and behavior of cells, tissues, and other tiny structures, giving scientists and researchers a better understanding of the world around us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But photomicrography isn&#8217;t just for scientists. Anyone with a curious mind and a sense of adventure can get in on the action. Imagine peering through a microscope and discovering a whole new world full of colorful cells, delicate tissues, and intricate patterns that you&#8217;ve never seen before. Each image is like a window into a different dimension, full of endless possibilities for discovery.<br><br>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikonsmallworld.com\/galleries\/2022-photomicrography-competition\">Nikon Small World Competition<\/a> is an annual photomicrography competition that showcases the beauty and complexity of the microscopic world. Photomicrographs (images taken through a microscope) of any microscopic subject matter can be submitted to the competition. The winning images are chosen based on their scientific merit, beauty, and originality. The competition has been held annually since 1975 and is open to anyone who has taken an image using microscopy equipment. Winning images are chosen by a panel of judges and are showcased in an online gallery as well as in a traveling exhibition. The competition is sponsored by Nikon Instruments Inc., a division of Nikon Corporation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So, here are 20 of the winning and honored images of our own picks for 2022: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"545\" src=\"https:\/\/illuzone.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Embryonic-hand-of-a-Madagascar-giant-day-gecko.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/illuzone.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Embryonic-hand-of-a-Madagascar-giant-day-gecko.jpg 800w, https:\/\/illuzone.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Embryonic-hand-of-a-Madagascar-giant-day-gecko-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/illuzone.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Embryonic-hand-of-a-Madagascar-giant-day-gecko-768x523.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>Grigorii Timin &amp; Dr. Michel Milinkovitch, Geneva, Switzerland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"caption-162347\">1.
