Nikon Small World photography contest 2005 : Bristling with sensitive antennae, bulbous eyes with 4,000 lenses, and a mouth that sucks up food using a pump in its head, the common housefly is one of 119,500 known species of fly, and this year's winning image in Nikon's Small World competition. Founded in 1975 to recognize photography through the microscope, the competition is the forum for celebrating the beauty and complexity of objects seen through the light microscope. The Nikon Competition is open to anyone with an interest in photomicrography. Participants may submit their images in traditional 35mm format, or digital. The first and second of twenty prizewinners will receive a selection of Nikon products and equipment.
