2024 Official Selection

Biopixels explores the world of evolutionary biology on the microscopic scale. Using the latest light microscope technology, butterfly wings become micro-mosaics.

Butterflies and moths comprise 12% of all species known to man (180,000 species!), and their seemingly endless biodiversity is visually translated on their wings through color and pattern variation.

The images in this film have not been altered but were animated to demonstrate both subtle and dramatic evolutionary development and variation.
