    FEATURE - Künstler schnitzt winzige, komplizierte Vogelskulpturen unter einem Mikroskop
    A French artist creates incredible tiny sculptures of birds under a microscope.

    Marie Cohdon spends hundreds of hours sculpting the intricate designs on ordinary pencil leads or on hardened glue using scalpels.

    They are then painted using watercolours.

    Marie reveals that sometimes it can take her up to one week to work on one single detail because it is so small.

    "There are several delicate steps in my work,' Marie explains.

    "For example, painting the beak of a bird, I can start it again 10 or 20 times."

    The microsculptures are all carved under a microscope and measure between 0.5 mm and 3 mm high.

    The details are imperceptible to the naked eye and can only be seen using a magnifying glass eye loupe often used by watchmakers and jewellers.

    "Carving under a microscope means that every little tool like a needle becomes huge and a danger for the sculpture in progress.' explains Marie.

    A self-taught artist, Marie finds peace in her work as it allows her to switch off from the outside world.

    "Through my microscope, I can’t see my hands or my fingers, I disappear, I have the feeling that only my mind and my heart remain to work.'

    "I become something of a ghost for a while, active in an area insignificant even to an ant.'

    "This job gives me the opportunity to surpass myself and I am always sure that when I start a new sculpture, I will not be disappointed."

    FEATURE - Künstler schnitzt winzige, komplizierte Vogelskulpturen unter einem Mikroskop
    A French artist creates incredible tiny sculptures of birds under a microscope.

    Marie Cohdon spends hundreds of hours sculpting the intricate designs on ordinary pencil leads or on hardened glue using scalpels.

    They are then painted using watercolours.

    Marie reveals that sometimes it can take her up to one week to work on one single detail because it is so small.

    "There are several delicate steps in my work,' Marie explains.

    "For example, painting the beak of a bird, I can start it again 10 or 20 times."

    The microsculptures are all carved under a microscope and measure between 0.5 mm and 3 mm high.

    The details are imperceptible to the naked eye and can only be seen using a magnifying glass eye loupe often used by watchmakers and jewellers.

    "Carving under a microscope means that every little tool like a needle becomes huge and a danger for the sculpture in progress.' explains Marie.

    A self-taught artist, Marie finds peace in her work as it allows her to switch off from the outside world.

    "Through my microscope, I can’t see my hands or my fingers, I disappear, I have the feeling that only my mind and my heart remain to work.'

    "I become something of a ghost for a while, active in an area insignificant even to an ant.'

    "This job gives me the opportunity to surpass myself and I am always sure that when I start a new sculpture, I will not be disappointed."

    Human Lymphocyte Cell 8,650X by David Scharf. These natural killer Lymphocyte cells are a part of the immune system and play a major role in defending the host from both tumors and virally-infected cells.

    Stunning photographs from the prestigious Royal Photographic Society's latest exhibition prove that science and beauty can co-exist. There 100 sensational images come from various disciplines of science and highlight how important photography is for academics. Photography plays a crucial role in medicine, forensic science, engineering, archaeology, oceanography, natural history and many more areas. The International Images for Science exhibition launches at the Great North Museum in Hancock, Newcastle, tomorrow (Sat), and showcases works from 54 scientists from around the world.

    Tiny Tribute To Royal Wedding
    An artist has paid microscopic tribute to the royal wedding.

    Willard Wigan has created a sculpture of Prince William and Catherine Middleton so small it can fit in the eye of a needle.

    In the tiny artwork the couple can be seen arm-in-arm, with Kate wearing her famous blue Issa engagement dress.

    Birmingham artist Willard said his aim was to create "the smallest, biggest tribute" to the couple on their wedding day.

    Willard is famous for his micro-sculptures, which can only be seen clearly through a microscope.

    For his Wills and Kate tribute he sculpted a tiny piece of synthetic fibre which he then painted using a single eyelash.

    Previously he has immortalised the likes of Barack Obama in miniature as well as inscribing the Lord's Prayer on a pin-head.
