"In its 12th year the
Nikon Small World in Motion contest continues to
deliver a mind-bending array of videos highlighting the wonders of the
microscopic world. This year features psychedelic salts, a nightmarish feeding
session and a spectacular depiction of neural cells in a fish embryo.
Back in 1975 Nikon launched a photo contest focusing solely on microscopic
imagery. It quickly became the world’s leading photomicrography contest, and in
2011 a spin-off competition was announced concentrating on microscopic videos.
The contest is simple, with no specific categories or subject matter
requirements. Basically, any video recorded using any kind of microscopy
technique is allowed. Entries are judged on a balance of art and science. So
everything is taken into account, from aesthetic impact to technical
proficiency and originality.
This year’s overall winner is a perfect encapsulation of this astonishing
contest, showing neural crest cells in a zebrafish embryo migrating over an
eight-hour period. Argentinian biologist Eduardo Zattara made the incredible
video, using fluorescence to highlight different cell functions across this
crucial developmental period."
