Microscopic Nature Shows Works of Art

by Staff Writer

Derrinck Photo
This is the retina of a mouse, as seen under a microscope. It was photographed by Thomas Deerinck, a researcher at the University of California in San Diego as part of a study into neurofibromatosis, a usually fatal childhood illness that can cause tumors to form on the optic nerve and other locations in the nervous system. This brilliant photograph won first prize in the international 2006 Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition, giving Deerinck $5,000 worth of Olympus products.

The annual competition showcases microscopic photos and videos of life science subjects, in a nexus where science and art combine to show nature’s astounding works of beauty. It is sponsored by Olympus.

Dadpour Photo
Photo above was taken by M.R. Dadpour of the Department of Horticulture, University of Tabriz in Iran. It is a picture of the Zinnia flower primordium, which won 3rd prize in the competition.

Grimm Photo
This photo, which looks like it came out of a Terminator movie, was shot by Ralph Grimm of Jimboomba, Australia using a darkfield illumination technique on his specimen, the housefly proboscis; 8th prize.

All winning photos can be viewed at BioScapes.com.
