Wired Science™ and Nikon™
hold an annual contest for the world's best microscopic photography,
and this year's winners are truly amazing. There is a heavy slant
towards flourescent or color enhanced microscopy for the vivid colors
they produce, but there are some very nicely stained images in the
historical winners categories.
From the Wired Science article:
" Winning the popular vote online out of 137 finalists was [this image]... by

Do
any of our readers enter this contest or have their own images they'd
like to share with HistoWorld? Post them in the comments here!
We might even look into running a
similar contest of our own if there's enough interest!
I also suggest taking a look at Nikon's site where some additional images that did not actually win the contest are visible. Again, some excellent microscopic photography.
