Nikon's Small World competition images were impressive.
The Japanese multinational optical and imaging products company has run this unique competition for 47 years, in which participants are asked to photograph insects and microorganisms using an optical microscope with results that are unique.
Among the many jobs, it is this one that causes horror from the Lithuanian Dr. Eugenijus Kavaliauskas.

And you know what it is? There's the close-up of an ant's face, which wasn't a first-prize winner anyway, even though it might give a lot of people sleepless nights.

One would say that it has nothing to do with what we can see with the naked eye. It certainly is.

The first prize of this year's edition of the competition went to the photo of Grigori Timin and Dr. Mitchell Milinkovich, which depicts the hand of an embryonic gecko (lizard).
