Photographs of fetal development by photographer Lennart Nilsson, first introduced in Life magazine in 1965, really shocked. It also shows the most marvelous process that God has created: The development of a living germ.
Within a few days, more than 8 million newspapers were sold out. And now, more than 40 years later, this photographer 's work still seems to be unabated.
Science and technology development makes it easier to take special photos like this. The pictures below have a photo taken with a normal camera, with an endoscope for taking photos. Nilsson enlarged the photos so many times that people could see fetal growth clearly.
