Using luminous HUV printing, this immersive, intricately illustrated book takes readers on a tour of remarkable microscopic worlds, unseen by the naked eye.

Offering close-up views of microscopic life in its original context, Micro takes the microscope out of the science lab and into the wild world. Meet mind-boggling organisms, like adorable 'water bears' who can survive in almost any conditions, even outer space; jewel-like diatoms that live in our oceans and help fight climate change; and alien-looking bacteria that keep our guts healthy. See the familiar become extraordinary, as we zoom in on soap bubbles, grains of sand and the eye of a fly to reveal the hidden beauty of everyday life.

Highly illustrated themed spreads focus on habitats and locations, including ponds, forests, deserts and even outer space, to reveal the microscopic creatures, plants and objects hidden within them. Readers will also discover exciting and unexpected uses for microscopes, looking at how forensic teams use them to solve crimes and how they have led to medical breakthroughs. The book features an introduction to microscope technology, with information about their history, how they work, and what they allow us to see. It also includes a practical guide on how to use one, so that children can explore microscopic worlds for themselves, at home or in school.
