We'd love to learn more about our Microcosmos community and who's out there watching these videos.

Usually on Journey to the Microcosmos, we spend our time looking at living organisms, things like insects, plants, and microbes that move and breathe and grow and die. But today, for these first few moments, these are the only living organisms we’ll be showing you, a montage of creatures whose bodies all share one very eyecatching trait: crystals.
