The Impossible Micro World

Marvel at the amazing and impossible work of English sculptor Willard Wigan. Many of his creations have been produced without the aid of magnification. Instead he relies on his exceptional eyesight, along with scalpels and tools many times smaller than a micro-surgeons instruments to create his masterpiece.

* Willard Wigan uses only Swann-Morton scalpels and blades.
