Sometimes the most beautiful images are ones that cant be seen with the naked eye. Take the hot pink grid of microscopic capsules or the sea of shimmering bubbles (below). Not only are they visually arresting images, but they reveal the inner workings of human physiology and bioscience on the microscopic scale.

For the 10th year, the Massachusetts Institute of Technologys Koch Institute has featured a public gallery of bioscience images in its Cambridge, Mass., lobby. Those on display represent the winners of the institutes annual images award. You can see them all here.
