Small World, Smaller Creatures
Chick embryo (6x): This shot of a nine-day-old chick embryo won first place in the popular vote on Nikon Small World’s website. The New York Times’s John Tierney thinks that’s just because it’s so dang cute, but I beg to differ: as ridiculously cool as it is, it looks something like a fruit snack-cum-monster. De Azevedo obtained this image by staining the embryo with green dye, immersing it in wintergreen oil, and photographing it with a stereomicroscope.
