Stephen Gschmeissner’s new series of 3D insect photos seriously puts a whole new spin on seeing up close creepy crawlies in the movie Honey, I Shrunk the Kids. The 62 year-old scientific photographer zoomed in 150 times to showcase what termites, flies, beetles and other every day insects really look like in creative macro fashion.

Those photos are not 3D, are they?

Hmm… aren’t they? I would apologise if that was the case. However, the word 3D was taken straight from the horse’s mouth and I consider him to be the expert here.
“‘The equipment is called a scanning electron microscope and it builds up 3D image using electrons not light,’ he said.
‘Electrons are tiny electrically charged particles that rotate around the atoms that make up everything we can see and touch”
