Amoeba
An amoeba (less commonly spelled ameba or amœba;: amoebas (less commonly, amebas) or amoebae (amebae)), often called an amoeboid, is a type of cell or unicellular organism with the ability to alter its shape, primarily by extending and retracting pseudopods.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (24 October 1632 – 26 August 1723) was a Dutch microbiologist and microscopist in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology.
See Micrograph and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Camera
A camera is an instrument used to capture and store images and videos, either digitally via an electronic image sensor, or chemically via a light-sensitive material such as photographic film.
Close-up
A close-up or closeup in filmmaking, television production, still photography, and the comic strip medium is a type of shot that tightly frames a person or object.
Colpoda
Colpoda is a genus of ciliates in the class Colpodea, order Colpodida, and family Colpodidae.
Cornelius Varley
Cornelius Varley, FRSA (21 November 1781 – 2 October 1873) was a British water-colour painter and optical instrument-maker.
See Micrograph and Cornelius Varley
Digital microscope
A digital microscope is a variation of a traditional optical microscope that uses optics and a digital camera to output an image to a monitor, sometimes by means of software running on a computer.
See Micrograph and Digital microscope
Electron microscope
An electron microscope is a microscope that uses a beam of electrons as a source of illumination.
See Micrograph and Electron microscope
Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh
Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE) is an award granted to individuals that the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Scotland's national academy of science and letters, judged to be "eminently distinguished in their subject".
See Micrograph and Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh
History of photography
The history of photography began with the discovery of two critical principles: The first is camera obscura image projection, the second is the discovery that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light.
See Micrograph and History of photography
Macro photography
Macro photography (or photomacrography or macrography, and sometimes macrophotography) is extreme close-up photography, usually of very small subjects and living organisms like insects, in which the size of the subject in the photograph is greater than life-size (though macrophotography also refers to the art of making very large photographs). Micrograph and macro photography are photographic techniques.
See Micrograph and Macro photography
Macrograph
A macrograph or photomacrograph is an image taken at a scale that is visible to the naked eye, as opposed to a micrographic image, taken with a microscope.
Magnification
Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.
See Micrograph and Magnification
Microphotograph
Microphotographs are photographs shrunk to microscopic scale. Micrograph and Microphotograph are microscopy.
See Micrograph and Microphotograph
Microscope
A microscope is a laboratory instrument used to examine objects that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Micrograph and microscope are microscopy.
Microscopy
Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects and areas of objects that cannot be seen with the naked eye (objects that are not within the resolution range of the normal eye).
Nikon Small World
Nikon Small World (Nikon's Small World) is a photographic contest run by Nikon Instruments and a forum for showcasing the beauty and complexity of life as seen through the light microscope.
See Micrograph and Nikon Small World
Off Book
Off Book is a web series on digital culture and art created for PBS by Kornhaber Brown, a Webby award-winning production studio that creates web series, videos, and motion graphics.
Ooid
Ooids are small (commonly ≤2 mm in diameter), spheroidal, "coated" (layered) sedimentary grains, usually composed of calcium carbonate, but sometimes made up of iron- or phosphate-based minerals.
Optical microscope
The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.
See Micrograph and Optical microscope
Paper Project
The Paper Project is a fusion project that blends art, science, and technology into engaging 2D and 3D experiences.
See Micrograph and Paper Project
Photograph
A photograph (also known as a photo, image, or picture) is an image created by light falling on a photosensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic image sensor, such as a CCD or a CMOS chip.
Pollen
Pollen is a powdery substance produced by most types of flowers of seed plants for the purpose of sexual reproduction.
Richard Hill Norris
Professor Richard Hill Norris FRSE FRSGS (1830-1916) was a British physiologist, spiritualist and photographer.

Robert Hooke
Robert Hooke (18 July 16353 March 1703) was an English polymath who was active as a physicist ("natural philosopher"), astronomer, geologist, meteorologist and architect.
See Micrograph and Robert Hooke
Roman Vishniac
Roman Vishniac (Рома́н Соломо́нович Вишня́к; August 19, 1897 – January 22, 1990) was a Russian-American photographer, best known for capturing on film the culture of Jews in Central and Eastern Europe before the Holocaust.
See Micrograph and Roman Vishniac
Scanning electron microscope
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is a type of electron microscope that produces images of a sample by scanning the surface with a focused beam of electrons.
See Micrograph and Scanning electron microscope
Smithsonian (magazine)
Smithsonian is a science and nature magazine (and associated website, SmithsonianMag.com), and is the official journal published by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., although editorially independent from its parent organization.

USB microscope
A USB microscope is a low-powered digital microscope which connects to a computer's USB port.
See Micrograph and USB microscope
Vice (magazine)
Vice (stylized in all caps) is a Canadian-American magazine focused on lifestyle, arts, culture, and news/politics.
See Micrograph and Vice (magazine)
Wilson Bentley
Wilson Alwyn Bentley (February 9, 1865 – December 23, 1931), also known as Snowflake Bentley, was an American meteorologist and photographer, who was the first known person to take detailed photographs of snowflakes and record their features.
See Micrograph and Wilson Bentley
Wired (magazine)
Wired (stylized in all caps) is a monthly American magazine, published in print and online editions, that focuses on how emerging technologies affect culture, the economy, and politics.
