The Micropolitan Museum is an incredible collection of images depicting nature's microscopic beauty. Wim van Egmond is the proprietor of this virtual wunderkammer. Seen here, from left to right, Ceriodaphnia reticulata and a section of a pine needle. From van Egmond's page:
In this type of work there is no need to deform reality to create abstract images. The credits go to the wonderful life forms that inhabit this Museum of Invisible Life. The photographer is now just a curator. He scoops up the artworks with a pipette, presses a button or two and patiently fills the museum. A collection that could easily fit on one fingernail.
