Photo: Peter Parks / Nikon Small World 2007 Competition
We don't know how many angels can dance on a pinhead, but thanks to this fantastic photomicrograph by Peter Parks, we know that a drop of water the size of a pinhead can contain about a dozen of zooplankton!
This photo won 5th place in the Nikon Small World 2007 Competition and is included in their 2008 calendar: Link

Also, since technical relevance is part of the judging, you'd think they would include some description of the images -- especially the grand prize winner. Personally, I wasn't particularly struck by the image, but if you gave be a taste of the science behind it, I may be better able to appreciate it.
