Some Beautiful Microscope (Nature) Photography - Nikon 2024 Contest Winners

Hey everybody!

Apparently this is the 50th anniversary of Nikon’s annual photomicrography contest, and they recently announced this year’s awards.

Arstechnica has a good write-up, but the real jackpot is Nikon’s gallery of the top 20 photos, and then the honorable mentions/images of distinction that you can get to from that webpage.

So many of these photos would be absolutely incredible to see (and see ID’d, haha) on iNaturalist - may we all aspire to this level of photography!

Anyway, I thought a fair number of you would enjoy taking a look, and I figured it was appropriate to share; hope you enjoy as much as I have!

Wow indeed! These are so beautiful, thank you for sharing!

I’m always in awe of how people manage to take these pictures. Even with top lab equipment it is not easy.

The electrical arc is a very interesting idea, I wouldn’t have thought of that!
