Some of these photographs appear to be close-ups of regular-sized flowers; they are not. All of these photos are micro (macro) photographs of the super-tiny blooms that blossom on common weeds.
Weed flowers...wild flowers...whichever appellation you want to bestow on them nonetheless these almost microscopic beauties are the flowers that bloom on the weeds in my yard.
Most of these flowers when measured petal tip to petal tip at their widest diameters measure 1/4" (6mm) across…or less...the entire bloom is that small. But the smallest weed flower I've shot yet is a small ring of flowers that measured less than 1/32" (.7mm) in diameter which encircled a spire which measured about 1/64" (0.3mm) in diameter.
For some photos I’ve included references to common objects such as the head of a paper match. On some others I’ve listed a description of the actual size of each object in the photo.
So far I've made over 600 photographs of over 48 varieties of weed flowers; this set represents the best of the best.

Had a red dome, had to use it to make another. I think I still have a couple more 4x4 domes in other colors, so I may just keep making these.

Not sure it technically qualifies for either category but I had to try something.
I prepare cells filled with liquid crystal. The top and bottom of the cell are held by a glue seal. From time to time, something goes wrong. In this case, I was trying to disassemble a ready cell.
UV glue after curing is resistant for popular solvents. As I wanted to examine the backplane, I avoided chemicals that could damage the aluminium layer. I tried soaking with solvent and heating. I was able to weaken the structure of the glue (see left side of the picture), so the solvent could get inside the cell. However, the spacing between layers is less than seven micrometers, so it is not so easy to wash out the liquid crystal from inside. Instead, we can observe the play between two non-mixing liquids: acetone and liquid crystal that were heated and rapidly cooled down. Colours are visible due to the birefringence of the liquid crystal.
I was quite surprised when I found something that looked like dinosaur remains. I felt like a micro-palaeontologist for a moment!
The photo was taken using the optical microscope and polarisers. I used 5x magnification objective. All the colours are real.

From the watchtower the Justice League monitors earth from orbit. I wanted to build my own version of the Watchtower. The rock-base look was inspired by the watchtower from "The Batman." I even built a micro justice league inside the observatory windows.
