Another ferrofluid shot with air bubbles, and a (slightly magnetic) stainless steel ball on a silicon wafer, with a big square magnet underneath.
The 10 micron precision of my milling machine came in handy for this one; moving the needle with such precision in 3D was key.

WD on the ribbon! 9 from me. Not withstanding your technical photographic abilities, that Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 (now with VR for handheld bug following) is just fabulous...and on my long term wish list.
wow, I'm fascinated. I really love how the colors and the reflection attract your attention to the point of contact. I am not understanding the significance of the ball. It almost competes with the bubble for importance. Also the double bubble makes me think the cells are dividing already but the needle is to clean to be 'leaving the scene' if there was some of the liquid on the needle it would make me think the cells were already doing their thing. (just some of the details that make you think)
Great shot, you have a great understanding of this interesting material and it shows nicely here.
I do not have the slightest idea what the in vitro fertilization process looks like, but I love the sharpness, clarity, and balance of this image. One of my top three.
