Honorable Mentions
Another 11 videos were awarded honorable mentions, from a bustling ant colony to plant root growth in action.
Ants Marching
Mexican artist Raul Gonzalez captured this time lapse video of individuals in his ant colony at feeding time.
Technique: Time Lapse, Reflected Illumination, Stereomicroscopy
Magnification: 1x
The Maw
James Nicholson of the Coral Collaborative Research Facility in Charleston, S.C., recorded this stony coral. Visible inside the mouth are the mesenteries, structures involved in digestion and reproduction; the unique color pattern about the oral area is the result of tissue pigmentation, a response to an unidentified stressor. Maybe the stress of being under the microscope.
Technique: Epifluorescence with 430 nanometer excitation showing natural fluorescence in live specimen
Magnification: 5x
Hydra viridis
By Charles Krebs, Charles Krebs Photography, Issaquah, Wa.
Technique: Darkfield and DIC

Too bad the second place winner's video is set to private; the others are phenomenal!
I really liked both 'Desmid dividing' and 'How Do Ellipsoid Eggs Form?', I think they should have placed much higher.
To see the 2nd place video watch the last one on this page then click on the 2nd one down in the left column, if you hold your mouse over it you'll see "... 2nd place" in the hover text, if you see what I'm seeing.
Or... since subsequent videos change position, you can click on "YouTube" in the bottom right of, say, the third-place video to view it in YouTube, copy the title and paste it into the YouTube address bar and replace "3rd" with "2nd", hit "Enter", and it will come up.
