Small World in the Apple Tree

Apple trees are nature condensed to miniature format, just around the corner on the nearest meadow. For one year, the life of all animals big and small in an apple orchard in Schleswig-Holstein was documented by Thomas Wilke's filmteam, cameraman Joachim Hinz and Prof. Urs Wyss at the stereo microscope. The team climbed the trees, flew above and into the branches with a miniature helicopter and recorded the life of creatures otherwise indiscernible to the naked eye under a stereo microscope.
