The Cage family has been one of the pioneers of microphotography for decades. The term “science art” was coined by Manfred Cage in the 1960s. It was important for him not only to create vivid images in his artistic and scientific works, but also to represent the aesthetics, beauty, and complex networks of nature. Today the family continues his legacy.

With us, photographers tell you how it’s really like: life with the camera at the ready. New every other Sunday.

The challenges of microphotography have constantly changed over time. Whenever new technologies were developed, they had to be adapted to the artistic and scientific purposes of the family. To make small structures visible, science artists use a variety of specialized tools and technologies. It includes the polychromator developed by Manfred Cage, an optical system that can display the finest crystal structures. He also invented micro kaleidoscopes and color systems for scanning electron microscopes.
There is no feature for the microphotography side. Ninja-Nadine Cage is a biologist and the daughter of photographer father Manfred Cage. It provides insight into the fascinating world of small things. In the current episode of Click Boom Flash, she explains how far amateur photographers can go when they dare to capture subjects that are barely visible to the naked eye.
