This post shows 18 images from under the microscope. I remember as a kid being fascinated with my microscope and putting all sorts of things from the garden under there to see what I could see.
These images however are from a far more powerful scope. The images here are phenomenal and are taken from the book ‘Microcosmos’, created by Brandon Brill . This book includes many scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of insects, human body parts and household items.
We are often spooked and told by the media of what little micro organisms are living and thriving all around us. Sometimes we would probably not want to know – luckily these are not all images of what little creatures are crawling around your body or in your bed. A lot of these images are just bog standard everyday items, but they look like some sort of futuristic alien landscape when put under the microscope!
