Maik Scherer: "Nano-vegetable"

"Microphase separated diblock copolymer film with HPL morphology. All of my images are individual scanning electron micrographs with feature sizes ranging from 10 to 20 nanometres and were colour enhanced."
This can be found at the Carl Zeiss competititon photostream at Flickr, which is a great set with many equally great photos (scroll down). I saw it through the tumblrs Proof (Math is Beautiful) and Fresh Photons, both of which are awesome math/science image driven blogs. In fact, instead of posting more images here from the Cambridge photostream (which is great but you have to go through it), here's a few fabulous recent images from Fresh Photons:
This, to be fair, was its recent repost of a National Geographic image:

"While photographing lilies in a local swamp a cloud of tadpoles swam by numbering in the thousands, all following along in a trail," shot by Eiko Jones
"Sonderia sp. (a ciliate that preys upon various algae, diatoms, and cyanobacteria)," shot by Dr. Diana Lipscomb, 13th place in the 2012 Nikon Small World Photo Competition (link to all competition photos)
