MICROCOSMOS - MICRO PHOTOS
http://goodstuff4u.multiply.com/journal/item/312/
Let think for a while.
Mosquito head has aprox 1mm diameter. Under 22 000 000 magnification it will have to have 22 km (22 000 meters diameter)
Human spermatozoid has a length of 40um (0,00004m) in 22 000 000 magnification it will have to have nearly one kilometer.
Thseese pictures are taken under 100-10 000 times magnification.
Long time ago people believed, that earth is flat, and it is based on four crocodiles. But some people 'analyzed everything' This how the progress is made.
By the way, do you know that the colours of theese photos are not the real colours but the effect of computer analysis?
