Конкурс микрофотографий "Загадки невидого мира" (компания FEI совместно с журналом National Geographic) 2013 года.
FEI and National Geographic photo contest
FEI is excited to continue its partnership with National Geographic on a giant-screen film titled "Mysteries of the Unseen World". Once again, the FEI Image Contest offers owners and users an opportunity to share their images with National Geographic's worldwide audience.
Together, the film and photo contest will allow audiences to discover unseen aspects of their everyday lives. As scientists and researchers, exploring the sub-microscopic world is something we do every day. Now you have an opportunity to share these explorations with the world at large.
