Because of education and interests many of his micrographs are dedicated to various aspects of the living world.
Apart from that he uses the microscope for searching the quite abstractional images. Besides the images refering to the graphic arts he also look for the images resembling pieces of our ordinary, big world. With his micrographs he tries to show the beauty and the great variety of the worlds hidden for naked eye.
The images which he creates are not the effect of the postprocession manipulations. Both the rich colour sheme and the great variety of forms are the effect of using special illumination techniques (mostly polarized light and dark field) just in the moment of taking the photograph.
