NSB was recently lent one of those clever USB microscopes and has been fascinated by how the world looks "up close and personal".
To limber up, and get into the right frame of mind, it's perhaps worth starting by showing the level of magnifcation that the microscope can achieve.
So, with that warm up out of the way, lets get stuck into the main event...
Here's what some week red flowers when magnified.
And this is the, surprisingly hairy, base of another small flower...
And, oh look !, a lovely pink rose petal...
Here is a feather.
A tiny bug on a leaf, invisible to the naked eye...
The head of a woodlouse...
An unidentified insect...
A different unidentifed insect...
The head of an ant...
And the head of a spider...
