Bruce RussellImaging the Hidden World: the Light Microscope (1984)

To say Russell makes films on biology is sort of like saying Rodin threw some clay on a table and a few minutes later came up with a figure representative of a human. 'Light Microscope' starts out didactically (Russell was a former K-12 biology teacher) in instructing the student on proper microscope technique, then goes off into the hyperspace of lighting techniques, using light and colored filters, that make otherwise difficult-to-see phenomena visible. This film, frankly, borders on psychedelia, and shows the technology Russell himself uses to make his visually arresting films.

Beautiful images of pondwater, plants, and particularly crystal growth in addition to fine narration make this a thoroughly enjoyable educational experience.
