The world's smallest sculptures - in pictures

Jonty Hurwitz, co-founder of Wonga.com, has created nanosculptures of human forms that are invisible to the naked eye and can only be viewed on the screen of a powerful scanning electron microscope

 A nanosculpture of a female figure approximately 80 x 100 x 20 microns
The sculpture in the eye of a needle
The sculptures begin with a scan of the models in a warehouse with over 200 cameras shooting at the same instant
They are then printed using a 3D printing technique by the Institute of Microstructure Technology at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany
