The Wonderful Winning Images From The Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition 2019
The Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition has celebrated the microscopic world for forty-five years and in that period, allowed scientists and enthusiasts to show off their artistry of scientific and stunning imagery captured through a microscope. Over 2000 amazing pieces of microphotography were submitted for the competition with passionate micro-photographers from almost 100 different countries. This year’s winning images were picked of a turtle embryo that took first place out of 20 winning photos for their scientific know-how and technical wizardry.
The wonderfully colorful image of a turtle was captured by microscopy technician Teresa Zgoda and recent university graduate Teresa Kugler, work done with precision and skill.
“The embryo was about an inch and a quarter long, a little smaller than a walnut,” Zgoda told IFLScience.
