Microscopische opname van het dekschild van een insect, 25 keer vergroot 1887 - 1888

"Microscopische opname van het dekschild van een insect, 25 keer vergroot," is a photomicrograph by Marinus Pieter Filbri, a Dutch photographer and microscopist, created between 1887 and 1888. The photograph, magnified 25 times, reveals the intricate details of an insect's wing, showcasing the artist's interest in the scientific and aesthetic qualities of the natural world. The image, presented in a circular frame, highlights the microscopic structure of the insect wing, emphasizing the detailed patterns and textures often overlooked by the naked eye. Filbri's work exemplifies the development of photomicrography as a means of scientific exploration and artistic expression in the late 19th century.
