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.
