Microscopische opname van cafeïnekristallen, zestig keer vergroot 1887 - 1888

This photomicrograph, "Microscopische opname van cafeïnekristallen, zestig keer vergroot" (Microscopic image of caffeine crystals, magnified sixty times), was created by Dutch photographer Marinus Pieter Filbri between 1887 and 1888. Filbri was a pioneer in photomicrography, a technique that uses a microscope to capture images of microscopic objects. The image shows the intricate, feathery structure of caffeine crystals magnified 60 times. This striking image showcases the beauty and complexity of the microscopic world. This photomicrograph, with its scientific focus, exemplifies Filbri's contribution to both art and science.
