Thanks for posting that, but mostly because there was another story on the site about a photography contest on Nextdoor. The grand prize winner is a shot of two young Great Horned Owls which was taken not too far from me. The guy who took the pic posted it on our local Nextdoor a few weeks ago.

Pretty darn tiny, i looked into it more, apparently the scene is 100 microns wide (.0039 inches) or about the width of a sheet of printer paper.

I like the micro gravers that John B came up made out of tiny carbide drills. J.J.

He is even using performance enhancing drugs. This guy is truly devoted to his craft.
