Kevin Carpenter’s Microbe Worlds is an exploration of the hidden beauty and cellular motifs of microbes as revealed by high-resolution microscope scanning of cell surfaces, which combines magnification with great three-dimensionality and depth of field. An appreciation of the vital and beneficial roles microbes play in the health and functioning of the planet may help solve some of the most challenging environmental and medical problems currently facing humankind. Carpenter’s research seeks to reveal the otherworldly and unexplored beauty of microbial cells, and raises awareness of the vital, and often unappreciated, roles microbes play in our biosphere.
