When the seasons change, they typically usher in new splashes of color — from the bright hues of blooming flowers to the rich tones of leafy trees. Now, a mesmerizing new video shows that these explosions of color are just as spectacular (and perhaps even more so) at teeny-tiny scales in the microscopic world.
In "Seasons," a video from Beauty of Science, an educational outreach organization, microscopic and macro-lens footage from previous projects were used to create a colorful display of the world's changing seasons. From crystals slowly growing to water droplets moving across the screen, the video clips are used to get viewers the feelings of the seasons as they change.
Yan Liang, a chemist and producer for Beauty of Science, said the organization's videos are "explorations of visual art under a microscope." [Small World: Gallery of Microscopic Beauty] https://www.livescience.com/57558-colorful-microscopic-seasons-video.html
