This year’s Nikon Small World Motion Photomicrography Competition has given us a fascinating glimpse into the realm of the extremely tiny. Watch a flea giving birth and a zebrafish embryo developing its complex nervous system. And that’s just the start.

  • I'm starting to think I am made of a whole community working together.
  • All the dislikes came from microscopic creatures due to interference in their privacy.
  • I had the pleasure of studying some of them under a microscope...it's truly amazing how intricate they are, and how unique each one is. In many ways they're more complicated than the largest cities in the world.
  • These images are beautiful, and if we were all shown things like this on a regular basis, we would surely learn to love, protect, and appreciate life more. Thanks to everyone who made it possible for us to see them.🧡😊🤸
  • When I was a child I used to believe that there was another world, like a universe that was too tiny to see; now as an adult I get to explore that teeny universe. Wonder never cease! 😝

    There's only one way to live a good life. Observe. Observing what happen around us we learn the fundamentals of life. What a wonderful thing to do. Observing Through the use of microscope brings us a whole different level of knowledge. Kudos to Nikon for this initiative. 😊

    This beauty in the universe can't come as an accident.

    I'm just wondering who's the smart guy who thought "that would be a great idea if we'd written in big caps all over these wordefull images"...

    Isn't is great to be alive in the 21st century, where our technology allows us to peek into the microscopic world, and see the tiny living beings that have always existed all around us. This is not something our ancestors ever got a chance to observe or witness. We are lucky to be alive and seeing this great footage, and i am sad that in we will also miss out even more mysteries, that the human race will uncover in the future. But this is what we get as of today, and it is still mesmerizing and amazing.

    Amazing stuff here. It’s so wonderful to see this kind of stuff . We literally have millions and billions of cells inside of us working for us, protecting us, serving us , allowing us to survive each and every single day. ❤️ love to the body and creation -😊🙏

    2:32 "This creature is magnified about four to six times." Me watching on a 65" TV: "Dear mother of God..."
  • @j.1759
    it's amazing how something so incredibly tiny can have sentience and foster their offsprings, truly fascinating
  • @cheryl5994
    ABSOLUTELY STUNNING TO SEE. CONGRATS TO ALL OF THE FINALISTS & EVERYONE ELSE WHO ENTERED, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE THE WONDERS THAT YOU FILMED.
  • @DonovanHaumpy
    This is what I imagine our universe to be. Something smaller of something way bigger

    02:06 The salt looks like fractal animation software output! 😲

    No, the marine worm wasn’t playing an instrument.... It was knitting a sweater.
  • @jenv9782
    Oh you make my heart so glad! Compared to all of the strife and lunacy out there, these amazing images were a balm for my sore eyes. Thank you!

    0:55 This is so amazing that the basic design took form at the microscopic level.
