He uses the devices (microscope,telescope and so many other ways to explore the hidden world such as unseen electromagnetic radiation/X-Ray
I think his images are fascinating and full of endless details that delight the mind of anyone with an interest in the universe that is around and within us.
The five sense of sight,smell,taste and touch were long thought to be sufficient to deal with the external world.However If we accept that the evolution of senses is the result of the struggle for survival,there is an essential sixth sense-pain-which tells us about our internal enviournment.Indeed,there may yet be another sense:a feeling for the passage of time.It has always been there in the background reminding us our mortality,but nowadays seems to have assumed a daily presence.
I absolutly admire Marlin's work,the way he manages to visualize things that we are unable to appriciate the importance( and beauty) of actions that occur on very short and very time scale.
many of his images have been made with devices that were made specifically to extend the power of human eye and thus streach the human mind
