Smile! A Tiny World of Insect Portraits

These strikingly crisp images take me back to campy Japanese Mothra films of the 60′s. The ‘portraits’, taken with a scanning electron microsope (SEM) by Steve Gschmeissner, reveal the tiny world that surounds us, yet still evades our view. Images recorded with an SEM include no color so these examples have had subtle hues added for more impact. See more of Gschmeissner’s high quality close-ups at visualphotos.com.

When not impressing people with his humbling humility, he can be found freelance writing, finding shiny objects on the internet, enjoying the company of much-appreciated friends and living out his nomadic nature.
