Prizewinning Videos Show It's a Small World After All

Beautiful and dramatic scenes unfold around

us every day, but many of them are too small to see with the naked eye, such as zebrafish embryo development, the wriggling of a newborn octopus as it erupts from an egg, or a mosquito as it is attacked and overwhelmed by fungus spores.


Those breathtaking moments — and many more — are spectacularly displayed in video clips that were recently honored by the Nikon Small World in Motion Digital Video Competition, an annual contest that celebrates movies and time-lapse sequences shot through an optical-light microscope.
