Molecular Expressions Art in Photomicrography

Welcome to the Molecular Expressions Art in Photomicrography Website. Using multiple-exposure photomicrography (photography through a microscope) we have succeeded in constructing a series of unusual photographs that we have termed Microscapes. These photographs are intended to resemble alien and/or surrealistic landscapes. The basic construction of these images is discussed in our Photo Primer under the subsection on Creative Photomicrography and involves the classical microscopy techniques of brightfield and cross-polarized illumination, assisted by basic visible light color-filtering processes. Microscapes consist of multiple exposures (so far from 2 to 9) fashioned on a single frame of 35mm transparency film. The Microscape links below describe the name of the image and the chemicals used for construction.
