If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence you tried.

Interesting video--but I would recommend it only with strong caveats.

If the photographer had presented his work in a clear, demystifying way, it might have advanced the art. But this video--a fairly simple presentation of SEM images with a lot of hype--describes the images in a way that makes the photographer's work appear as a breakthrough--which it is not. What I see is marketing, rather than teaching of advances in photomacrography.
