The award-winning short film Nanoscapes shows us the beauty and detail of butterfly wings at a scale we’ve not seen before.
Kristina Dutton’s work using an electron microscopes can show us views at up to 50,000 times magnification. the result is a level of detail that feels incredible, showing nature’s intricacy at the smallest form.
The wings are magnified so close you can see the tiny vibrant scales that make them up.
Check out the short film below.

“Images of butterfly wings at the microscopic scale are stunning, and at the nanoscopic scale they become otherworldly.
Shot with light and electron microscopes at magnifications up to 50,000x, Nanoscapes reveals the elaborate topography of butterfly wings, which have produced a wealth of data on the surprisingly little known story of structural coloration.”
