Extraordinary Microscope Photographs
The Olympus
BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition winners are currently on display
at the New York Hall of Science. This competition, in its ninth year,
is a dynamic international photo competition which honors the world's
most extraordinary microscope images and videos of biological subjects.
The Olympus BioScapes exhibit will be on display through August 31st.
You can see the winners and many honorable mentions on the Olympus Bioscapes web site. -- Paula Nelson (19 photos total)
