For the tenth year in a row, miscroscope and camera manufacturer Olympus sponsored a light microscope photography contest, and the results are stunning. The winner, pictured above, is an aquatic carnivorous plant, photographed with many smaller microscopic plants inside its open trap.
The results show a strange, brilliant, and rarely seen world, all lit-up and magnified in the name of science.
And, in case you missed them: here are the winners from 2012 contest.
