Very small things, brought into focus

The Daily Mail has published some fascinating photographs of things so small that they're normally invisible. The pictures were taken using a transmission electron microscope, which can magnify up to a million times larger than life-size. Here are a couple of the images to whet your appetite. They've been cropped and reduced in size to fit this blog.
