"In this large format illustrated book a scanning electron microscope takes the reader on a tour of the inner life of things, revealing a world of images normally invisible to the human eye. The best and most beautiful micro-photographs in the world (some of which have been awarded the Nikon Small World Photography Prize) shows objects from nature (human beings, animals, plants), biology medicine, mineralogy and textiles from a completely new vantage point: greatly enlarged and in brilliant colour. In the process, landscapes of unfathomable beauty which provide completely new insights into the objects which harbour them emerge. The introduction and explanatory notes are by a French scientific journalist (M.Sc. in Biology). "
