Nanoflowers

This incredible "nanobouquet" is about one-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. It was the winning image in the Department of Engineering competition at Cambridge University in February 2004, and was taken with a scanning electron microscope (and colour modified using Adobe Photoshop) by PhD student Ghim Wei Ho.
