An entry in a German science-photo competition, this image shows a fly sporting a set of "designer" lenses crafted and set in place with a cutting-edge laser technique. The glasses fit snuggly on the fly's 0.08-inch-wide (2-millimeter-wide) head.

"Micreon, based in Hannover, Germany (see map), created the fly's eyewear using ultrafast laser micro-machining. The firm notes on its Web site that the process can create objects with high precision at scales of less than a thousandth of a millimeter"

- What they don't say is whether it improved the fly's eyesight.

That's pretty damn funny: Laser micro-machined designer glasses for a house fly. Great.

- Did the fly take a test before it got the glasses? It definetely improved its eyesight...
