This is how a popular snack looks under a microscope. At high magnification, its rough surface, tiny air pockets, seasoning particles, and porous texture become visible—details that are impossible to see with the naked eye.
Microscopes reveal the hidden structure of everyday foods, offering a fascinating look at how they’re made and why they have their unique texture and crunch. Sometimes, the smallest details are the most surprising. 🔬🧀✨
Get ready to zoom in on April 4 and join us at Micro Fest, a weekend celebration of seeing small through a variety of tools, from simple hand lenses to powerful microscopes.
Uncover textures, patterns, and ecosystems that are normally invisible to the naked eye. Meet drifting plankton, explore immune cells, and identify parasites. It’s your chance to see the unseen… and experience something huge.

your fits are cute but your cells are cuter 🥹👉🏼👈🏼 These are all REAL images of human cells with features coloured through different molecular techniques toad then captured through a microscopes, courtesy of the @nikoninstruments Small World Competition!
Full disclosure, I’m a judge for this year’s competition, and I’ve been having a lot of fun going through winners from the previous years. All credit & image info below, in order of appearance:
🔬Colon cells: this is a cross section of colon epithelial crypts magnified 20x, captured by Dr. Ziad El-Zaatari
🔬 Heart Muscle Cell: this is a human cardiomyocyte grown in a dish from induced pluripotent stem cells magnified 60x, captured by Hui Lin and Dr. Kim McBride
🔬 Lung cells: these are lung cells expressing antiviral proteins in green, with a core part of the cell skeleton in blue, magnified 63x and captured by Joe McKellar
🔬 Neuron: human neurons grown in a dish from neural stem cells magnified 20x, captured by Dr. Jianqun Gai and Prof Glenda Halliday
🔬 Tongue cell + bacteria: this is a bacterial biofilm on a tongue cell magnified 63x, captured by Dr. Tagide deCarvalho

🔬 Vacuoles, cell walls, and chloroplasts—seen, rotated, labeled.
With Merge EDU, students can explore a full 3D plant cell model with zero microscopes required.
Neurosurgeons operate on the brain and nervous system 🧠, where even millimeters can make the difference between normal function and permanent damage.
They use advanced imaging, microscopes, and robotic tools to carefully navigate delicate tissue, avoiding areas responsible for speech, movement, and memory.
Every movement must be extremely steady and precise, as even the smallest mistake can have life-changing consequences, making it one of the most demanding fields in medicine ⚕️.
When it comes to your research, small changes in your workflow can make a big difference.
With our award-winning DSX2000 digital microscope, switching magnification is effortless thanks to its automatic revolving nosepiece. So the next time you place a specimen under the microscope, you’ll be able to move immediately from a broad overview down to the finest detail.

Electron microscopes allow us to see the miniature world inside our cells up close (like making a pin head larger than a football field!). To better understand how the individual parts of cells and tissues work together, we need to see that in 3D.
Kirk Czymmek and team are working on volume electron microscopy tools that allow us to examine whole cells or tissues up close so we can study how they interact and work together—and ultimately how they function.

Watch the mitosis of a fruit fly embryo 🪰🔬
The 2024 Nikon Small World in Motion video winners are here. As always, all the winning microscopy videos are remarkable. Now in its 14th year, this international video competition selects the best of hundreds of entries, each providing a different look into the microscopic world.
Dr. Bruno Vellutini's winning video captures the rhythmic waves of division and tissue movements critical to proper embryonic formation in fruit flies. he video reveals the dynamic processes of fly embryogenesis, crucial for uncovering genetic pathways that mirror those in humans and other mammals, with applications for cancer research, birth defects, and potential treatment development.
