We don't have a sense of scale for the very small, and gigapan + microscopes (optical or SEM) can go a huge way towards opening the country of the very small to a wider public. Richard Feynman wrote There's plenty of room at the Bottom, but even if you have read that (more than once :-), you still don't get the sense of what 'small' means that you can get from seeing it in a Gigapan.

Ant Night
We presented the Nano Gigapan ant images at the California Academy of Sciences Nightlife. Nightlife is a evening social event at CAS that happens every Thursday evening. It gives people a chance to explore the museum at night and ask questions. Nano Gigapan set up a table and had the opportunity to present some of our images and talk to people about our work.
