Magnification Challenge Voting!

Firstly I just want to say how overwhelmingly brilliant this challenge has been, I am really proud of the entries that this community has made to this challenge, you've really done yourselves proud.

There are a lot of different approaches taken to this challenge as usual, some people used cutting edge technology, people had different takes on the subject matter and in the end we ended up with examples ranging from lenses to a journey through a circulatory system.

I have no idea who will win this, it's too close to call, there are several entries here that are all worthy of the top place.

I need to apologise for the delay of a couple of hours in getting the voting started, it's just that there are 17 entries this time and they took a while to type them up!!

Do yourself a favour and have a glance through the topic and refresh your memory on these wonderful things before you vote, the makers deserve that!

Voting Rules

• Please do not vote for yourself.
• You must choose three things.
• This poll runs for 6 days.
• If first place is tied there will be a vote-off

Karma and prizes will be awarded when voting closes!
