A look at the selected microscopic time-lapses in Nikon’s “Small World, in Motion” competition
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.”
