Something compared to a grain of sand usually means that it’s small or insignificant, but Dr. Gary Greenberg’s amazing pictures made using a microlens aims to turn this stereotype on its head. His pictures of minuscule grains of colorful sands magnified up to 300 times tell that sand under a microscope can be an incredible view.
Greenberg’s story is an amazing one.He invented the
high-definition 3D lenses that he takes his pictures on, resulting in 18 U.S.
patents under his name. He was a photographer and filmmaker till age 33 when he
shifted from LA to London and earned a Ph. D. in biomedical research. This
appears to have given him a distinctive appreciation for biological and
scientific curiosities and for the optical macro photography technologies he
would need to record or capture them.
