Things under a microscope

A team of University of Michigan researchers has recently created a set of electron microscope images of carbon nanotube structures depicting images of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama. John Hart, leader of the research team says it wasn't a political statement, but an attempt to draw attention to what is possible these days with nanotechnology, and imaging at the very small scale. I'll take him up on this invitation and share with you some other images of very tiny things in our world. For…

A high energy beam scanner, called a scanning electron micrograph, was used to capture this image, which shows the surface of a human tongue. The protruding objects, called filiform papillae, can sense pressure. The flaky appearance of the papillae results from the fact that they are constantly shedding their skin to increase sensitivity.

A világ, mint tudjuk, nagy és titokzatos hely. Bárhová megyünk, mindenütt találunk látnivalót Ha közelebbről megnézzük ezeket a dolgokat, kiderül, hogy igazán mesés, mágikus vagy egyszerűen félelmetes látványt nyújtanak. Habár sokat szabad szemmel

What does your eye look like under a microscope? Instagram 3D artist Frank J Guzzone gives us at least an imaginative glimpse into the workings of an eye. #eyeball #art #microscope #science #research

Horrifying.

The images collected here are the winners of the 2014 Wellcome Image Awards, which celebrate striking science and medical images.

Whoa.

Microscopes are an awesome scientific instrument that all kids should get a chance to learn to use. In this post I share 40 things to look at under a microscope. #thebarefootmom

Horrifying.
