You Just Won't Believe What Sand Looks Like Under A Microscope

One of the problems with living in a fundamentally interesting, chaotic and wonderful universe, is that the closer you look the more amazing everything is. And yes, that's all very well and good, but it's so exhausting.

Take sand, for instance: mundane, boring sand. You might think it's just a load of eroded rock. Then you look closer, and discover a spectacular world as visually diverse as the night sky.

The American photographer Gary Greenberg has dedicated his life to photographing the amazing world of the very small. And his latest work - 'A Grain of Sand: Nature’s Secret Wonder' - is dedicated exclusively to examining the beauty of sand.

That is beautiful.

I had a microscope as a child and had to put everything I could find under the scope!!

I remember a burst spot being very boring under magnification!!
