January 12

Continuing in the "wonder" tradition, today we bring you some of the world's smallest wonders. The site is Nikon's MicroscopyU Small World Competition, in which people send in detailed pictures of really small things using all sorts of various techniques. Yes, very technical language. Thesite has the winners and Honorable mentions from 2008 all the way back to 1977. These images all look really cool, and clearly have colors different from real life, but I could picture most of these as amazing desktop backgrounds. Amazing even if you don't like photography.

Rating: 4 - not interactive but the sheer volume of amazing photos more than makes up for it. these pictures are just plain cool, and finding out what each picture really is proves quite interesting.
