Teeeeeeeny tiny crown

I do a microscopy blog and follow you, so when i came across this picture

I immediately thought of you.  This is a 19th century microscope slide made of butterfly scales and diatoms and is presented here magnified 35x before the picture was taken.  You can find the source at http://www.nikonsmallworld.com/gallery/year/1983/8

Thanks for the submission fairefaerie!
