Such minuscule details of life may be out of sight, but they\u2019re certainly not out of existence. Back for its 2025 installment, Nikon\u2019s Small World Photomicrography Competition (previously<\/a>) highlights the complexities of our world beyond the naked eye.<\/p>\n

From dozens of algae cells floating in a single droplet water to the inner workings of a dedifferentiated liver cell, this year\u2019s collection of winning images and honorable mentions capture the microscopic diversity of life forms.
