The wonders of technology allow us to get further under nature’s skin and view things often invisible to the human eye. Since the 1600s, when the microscope was invented, we have been privy to the magical world of all sorts of miniscule beasties but now with the range of cameras available photographers are able to capture these images without ever having to don a white coat.

Dark Roasted Blend have published an amazing assortment of pics that were entered into the Olympus BioScapes Digital Imaging Competition down the years, along with a few other critters from this small, small world.

And, just in case you missed it, DRB’s own Avi Abrams was interviewed for Bornrich’s Cool Geek of the Week recently; find out what makes him tick.

    Wow those critters look really cool. You wouldn’t think there was so much colour and detail in them!

    I think that’s a cluster of micro-eggs. Looks like a bunch of lobster’s or crustacean’s.. anyway, that microphotography stuff brings detail and additional information about the subject. It’s waaaaay cool! I wanna see more of those critters by the way. Any official links to that stuff? The one I know (they only present some of the pics though) is popsci.com.
