There is something to be seen in every detail of the world that can impress you, and there is no better example than the microscopic film. Take this one by biologists from the University of Wisconsin, Elizabeth Haynes and Jiaye He, who shows a 16-hour timelapse of a small zebrafish embryo developing its elaborate sensory nervous system:
Since 2011, Nikon has organized this annual competition, called Small World in Motion, to highlight the best little movies in the world. Any film or timelapse filmed under the microscope is eligible, and a panel of experts in photomicrography judges the entries. The zebrafish video above won first place in this year's contest.
Surprisingly, each year, they discover new interesting shots. Second place this year, for example, shows the strange patterns that appear when you pass a laser through soap bubbles:
And the third winner was a short profile of this translucent, waggling and oddly cute polychete worm – a microorganism that can be as little as two millimeters long.
You can check out this year's finalists and other microscopics on Nikon's YouTube page. Trippy vibes guaranteed.
