Microscopic images

 Microscopic images, major surprises

We all mindlessly pick up everyday objects—a toothbrush, a ballpoint pen or maybe a scrap of paper—without a second thought. But have you ever wondered what these things under a microscope might reveal? Even the plainest, most boring items prove to be unbelievably complicated and exciting when we look at their microscopic images, making us realise just how intricate everything on this planet is.

Such close-up pictures of everyday objects can be observed using stereo or compound microscopes. While not as powerful as transmission electron microscopes (which are used to observe much tinier things, like cells and viruses), they’re perfect for revealing the intricate microscopic images of ordinary items we barely glance at. Read on to discover what these everyday things under a microscope really look like.
