Why is Unity 2D Alpha-Blurring my pixel sprite?

Question

So I have just brought in a place holder block for the ground in unity 2D, and it's 16 by 16 pixel image, and for some reason unity is automatically blurring the image. So I was wondering if there was any way to stop unity from automatically blurring the image. I would really appreciate if someone could tell me how to stop the image form being blurred. Also sorry if this is, just something that is incredibly simple to fix, I just started using unity 2D instead of 3D so it's different for me.

Thanks, Nova

The default sprite filter mode in Unity is set to Bilinear.

If you change it to Point, it will retain the pixel crisp.
