    Winning Photos Bring World of the Itsy-Bitsy to Life

    First place went to this photo showing the blood-brain barrier in a live zebrafish embryo.

    The winners of the 2012 Nikon International Small World photography contest were announced Oct. 23. The competition, launched in 1974, honors those spectacular pictures taken through a microscope, called photomicrographs. Each year a panel of judges picks the top 20, plus honorable mentions.
