Image of fruitfly (Drosophila melanogaster) ovaries and uterus made using the fluorescence technique by Gunnar Newquist of the University of Nevada, Reno. (Seventh place in the 2011 Olympus BioScapes competition.) Microscopes have been at the core of scientific discovery for hundreds of years and as soon as it became possible to aim a camera through the microscopes, the first photomicrographs were made. Techniques available to micrographers have expanded and digital photography has made the production of photomicrographs far less expensive. Competitions sponsored by Nikon and Olympus promote the work of a thriving community of professionals and enthusiasts seeking beauty through the lenses of their microscopes. More micrographic art here.
