Nikon Small World is a photography contest that has been held every year since 1975. The contest, which began as a means of recognizing and praising the efforts of those involved in light microscope photography, is open to anyone over the age of 18 and not a member of a microscope-related company. A total of 103 works were selected in 2021, which is the 47th edition of the collection of original photographs woven by art and science.
◆ 1st place: Southern live oak leaf surface
A work that captures the surface of the leaves of Southern Live Oak , a type of oak that grows in the United States. The white part that looks like a sea anemone is the hair growth of leaves called hair mushrooms, the purple part is the stomata, and the blue part is the cell fluid. This work was created by Jason Kirk of Baylor College of Medicine. It was taken by illuminating it through a color filter, and about 200 photos were overlaid to create one photo.

◆ 2nd place: Nerve cells on microfluidic devices
Nerve cells with different viral traits were placed on both sides of a microfluidic device that cultures biological tissues, and the work that captured how both stretched axons and tried to connect was shining in second place.

◆ 3rd place: Lice claws
A work taken by biologist Frank Riser. It clearly captures the claws of lice that look like crab claws, the transparent body, and the tubular respiratory organs that can be seen inside the body.

◆ 4th place: Rat sensory neurons
A work that photographs sensory neurons, which are nerve cells that transmit sensory stimuli. Paula Diaz, who created this work, is a student of the Catholic University of Chile, Pontificia University.

◆ 5th place Housefly snout
This work captures the most common fly 'housefly' distributed all over the world and captures the area around the mouth. This photo, which looks like a monster, was created by superimposing photos like the first work.
