- R" Y! n4 ?/ j% L4 P) Q, x1 q

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything from household items to human body parts. Here are a selection of our favourites. This is an amazing image of a wood or heathland ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip

伦敦科学作家布兰登布罗尔收集了一系列扫描电镜拍摄的照片并由此构成了他的新书《微观世界》。图片的对象包括从家居用品到人体器官的各种物体。这里精选一些以飨读者。这是一只黑蚂蚁，品种可能为木蚂蚁或石楠蚂蚁，蚂蚁衔着一个微芯片。

Taken by over 30 'microscopists' using a variety of powerful microscopes, the images in the book charter a voyage through a miniature world showing the unlikeliest parts of our lives in minuscule detail. This is the surface of an EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) silicon microchip.

图片出自超过30名“显微镜专家”，器材为各种强大的显微镜。书中的图像通过微观世界的视角，为我们展示了生活中最不可思议的细节。这是一个EPROM微芯片的表面。
