We love this video clip from DailyMotion contributor Weird_Weird_Science a whole lot, for the following reasons:

-it shows how completely amazing modern microscopy is

-it shows how incredibly complicated even the simplest, most homogeneous-seeming materials can be

-it reminds us of the Eames' Powers of Ten movie that blew our minds back in fourth grade

-the precise commentary in Attenborough-like British cadence makes us feel smarter

-it comes in good company: other clips posted on the same page include zooms into concrete, aluminum, brass, carbon fiber, and...um...hair
