Nano World

Picture

Nano World

A mechanism lifts a jar of pond water to create a single drop of pond water positioned to intercept a green laser beam. The droplet acts as a powerful lens. Micro-organisms within the drop are imaged by a combination of magnification and interference. Diffraction rings frame the organisms.

Here you are seeing life on a mass scale 20-orders of magnitude smaller than a whale.

 One sperm whale = 100 billion billion of these little animals, ….that is about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 of them!

Press one button for the water drop and one button for the laser.
