Matt Femia of Micrographer

Hi! I'm a microscope enthusiast and ex-cancer-scientist. I changed careers a few years back but deeply missed the science & medical world. So I leaned on that passion, built my own microscopes, and started Micrographer! Across my career, I've logged over 3000 machine hours on microscopes, published microscope research, and worked with some of the leading microscopists in the world. In other words, I'm pretty big on this strange hobby of microscopy!

There's nothing I love more than showing you all this world beneath our eyes. With that, I hope I can offer you more than traditional art through these prints and provide something truly unique and eye-catching.

Finding Balance is a print created from imaging crystallized estrogen and progestin through a microscope.

This image is the epitome of perfect timing. An eyelash happened to fall within the field of view on the microscope at the perfect time between heating and cooling the crystals. It was only within view for a few seconds to get the shot before melting again.

A combination of biochemistry and microscopy techniques were used to produce the crystals and final image. The final hi-res image is captured through a microscope.
