The selected works of the “Nikon Small World” competitions were introduced in the last months of 2019 in the two sections of photomicrography and microscopic time-lapses.
To watch the selected works in the microscopic time-lapse section of this competition.
“Small World in Motion” is the title of a part of “Nikon’s Small World” competition, which has hosted the works of artistic scientists every year since 2011. In this section, recorded time-lapses compete with optical microscopes. To watch these competitions’ selected works of 2019, stay with Zomit in the two areas “Selected Videos” and “Special Appreciation.”
