Every day, scientists work to understand the aspects of the world that are completely unknown to the rest of us. Some study the way blood vessels provide oxygen to an African Grey parrot, others follow tiny bobtail squid that light themselves up while hunting for shrimp, and others try to understand the pain and physical symptoms of diseases like Crohn's.
Most of the time, we can't "see" this work in a way that helps us understand it and shows how fascinating and even beautiful it can be. In the images below, showing the winners of the Wellcome Image Awards 2017 contest, first established in 1997, you can see all this — and it's beautiful indeed...http://www.businessinsider.com/wellcome-image-award-winners-are-beautiful-science-images-2017-3/#this-image-shows-how-an-iris-clip-also-known-as-an-artificial-intraocular-lens-iol-is-used-to-treat-conditions-such-as-myopia-nearsightedness-and-cataracts-cloudiness-of-the-lens-is-fitted-onto-the-eye-clinical-photography-1
