For thirty-six years Nikon has sponsored the world’s premier photomicrography competition. The Small World Competition brings together the hobbyist and professional, the novice and expert to express their scientific acumen and sheer artistry through the microscope.
The image below details the structural organization of a mosquito heart and is the winner of the 2010 competition.
The photographer, Jonas King of Vanderbilt’s Department of Biological Sciences, is involved in research to uncover methods to disrupt mosquito-borne disease transmission.
