Photomicrograph of elastic fiber (far right) won first prize in Nikon's 17th Annual Small World Competition. Entries were judged on informational content, originality, visual impact, and technical proficiency. Any 35-mm photograph shot through a microscope qualified, and computer enhancement was actually encouraged. For information, call 516/547-4200.

1 Red and blue filters helped win first prize for Marc Van Hove, an engineer at Centexbel (Belgian Textile Research Institute), Gent, Belgium, for his photo of an elastic fiber bundles used in sportswear.
