Fantastic Electron Microscope Photos

Fantastic! An eye opener on how much we are  missing by not being able to see certain things (or natural phenomenon occurring Around us), with our normal eyesuight!

 

 

 

 

 


 

All I can say is... OMG!!

Amazing Scanning Electron Microscope Photos... Fantastic!

 

All these pictures are from the book ' Microcosmos,' created by Brandon Brill from London.

This book includes many scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of insects, human body parts and household items.
These are the most amazing images, many too small to see with the naked eye.
