The nervous system inside a zebrafish, a laser moving inside a soap membrane and a polychaete worm digesting its food are among the amazing images to be won the honors of the eighth international photomicrography competition Nikon Small World in Motion.

The video-composition is a derivative of the long-running Nikon Small World photographic project, which began in 1975 and rewards outstanding photographs taken with a microscope.

This year's competition was judged by a jury led by Joseph Fetcho, a neurobiologist at Cornell University in the United States.

The full list of this year's winners is available on the Small World website.
