Indahnya Dunia Lewat Mikroskopis

Indahnya Dunia Lewat Mikroskopis

Keindahan dunia bukan saja terlihat dari paparan alam luas membentang yang dapat dilihat oleh mata telanjang, tetapi juga dari mahluk dan benda mikro mungil yang harus dilihat dengan mikroskop.

Setiap tahun, para ilmuwan mengikutsertakan karya mereka berupa gambar mikroskopis dalam lomba Fotografi Nikon.

Berikut adalah pemenang top 10 Nikon's competition for photography on a microscopic scale di tahun 2010.
