Spectacular Microscopic Images of Our Hidden Universe

really amazing....

The wood or heathland ant holding a microchip in its toothed (serrated) mandibles.



Another fantastic picture is the piece of small household dust below.
Magnified 22million times, this microscopic photo is of household dust containing long hairs such as cat fur, twisted synthetic and woollen fibres, a pollen grain, plant, serrated insect scales and insect remains.


A corroded surface of a rusty metal nail appears like an alien environment when enlarged 600 times.


Cigarette paper - the blue crystals are additives that keep the lit cigarette burning by producing oxygen.

A clutch of butterfly eggs sits on a raspberry plant.

Vegetable world: Actually looking like you would imagine it to, this is the head of a cauliflower

Eyelash hairs growing from the surface of human skin….

Enlarged 21 times: This colourful flower is actually of fimbriae, a fringe of tissue, of a Fallopian tube


A human head louse clings to a strand of hair.

Mosquito’s head magnified 160 times


Nylon hooks and loops interweave to form the material more commonly known as Velcro.


Magnified seed: Perhaps not as surprising as some of the photos, this microscopic shot is of human sperm.
