These Body Parts Have Always Been There But You Have Never Seen Them Like This

#1 Eye brow hair growing from the surface of human skin

A collection of images taken with scanning electron microscopes (SEM) has been pieced together by London-based science author, Brandon Broll, into a book titled Microcosmos. The images cover anything from household items to human body parts. Here are a selection of our favourites. This is an amazing image of a wood or heathland ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip

#2 Alveoli of the lungs with two red blood cells

Taken by over 30 'microscopists' using a variety of powerful microscopes, the images in the book charter a voyage through a miniature world showing the unlikeliest parts of our lives in minuscule detail.

#3 Finger Nail

The images were captured using a variety of traditional light-based microscopes, powerful scanning electron microscopes (which bombard the subject with electrons and build the image using a computer) and transmission electro microscopes.

#4 Human Eye -Iris

The book focuses on six sections including 'zoology', 'the human body' and 'botanics'.

#5 Red blood cells pouring out of a ruptured blood capillary.

London-based science author Brandon Broll, who specialises in science and health writing, said: "The book will show readers the beauty of what is too small to see with the naked eye."

#6 Nerve Ending

The other three sections, 'minerals', 'technology', and 'microorganisms' delve deeper into the tiny world existing under our noses.

#7 Red blood cells in an artery

#8 Split End, Human Hair
