Nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with the same care and imagination as a zebra. Apparently it does not occur to nature whether or not a creature is within our range of vision, and the suspicion arises that even the zebra was not designed for our benefit.

Thanks Susan.
Perhaps even more amazing are the structures found in some microscopic life; animals we cannot even see with the naked eye. Take a look at some of the posts on photomacrography

Photos made with a digital camera (a DSLR). To get high magnification all one has to do is to attach extension tubes or a bellows to the camera and then attach a wide angle lens, in reverse, to the bellows. In this case a 28mm lens mounted in reverse (backwards).
