You’ve never seen a spider, a caterpillar, or even a DVD reader quite like this before.
The winning photos this year in Nikon’s annual Small World Photomicrography Competition offer a very up-close look at these three things and many others–and they’re absolutely beautiful.
The annual competition, which is celebrating its 40th year, showcases some of the best microphotography from around the world. This year, more than 1,200 entries from at least 79 countries were vying for top honors. The entries were judged by biologist Dr. Paul Maddox, Slate science editor Laura Helmuth, and Popular Science’s online director Dave Mosher.
