Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition - The Winners of The 2011

Do you know about the Nikon Small World photomicrography competition? The Nikon Small World photomicrography competition awards the most amazing microscopic photos of the year-and I am amazed every year. This year's winners feature a selection of insects, sand, and mouse nerves, all photographed from a disarmingly close distance. These three are the winners of Nikon Small World Photomicrography Competition - The Winner of The 2011.
