Electron microscopy as an inspiration for design
Nature is perceived mostly at sizes that can be observed by our eyes. If we have the opportunity, we can observe small parts of plants or animals using a magnifying glass or an optical microscope. We then discover new structures and admire their perfection and beauty as well as functionality. One needs not to be a scientist or an artist to be filled with wonder and awe watching fantastic images that open new, previously invisible worlds. They are worlds full of mystery, exciting beauty, fantastic shapes and structures. Their essence is beauty, harmony, order and purpose. There are several different types of electron microscopy, which are largely aimed at studying the ultrastructure of living organisms. The image connects microscopic sciences with art and beauty, and confirms the knowledge and perfection of creations. Together we present the possibility of using selected micrographs in design by highlighting the esthetic effect. Try it with us.
