Oct 21, 2010: It's a Small World

Nikon runs a yearly photo contest in microscopy.
Quote:
Celebrating 36 years of excellence in photography through the microscope, The Nikon International
Small World Competition is dedicated to furthering creativity and excellence in photomicrography
This is the 2010 winner by Jonas King, Vanderbilt University.
Can you guess what it is?




This was one that caught my eye, #10 by Yanping Wang, Beijing Planetarium.
What do you think this is?



Highlight below for the answers...
#1, Anopheles gambiae (mosquito) heart (100X), #10, Crystallized soy sauce (16X)

I thought they were both props from the new Tron movie. Wrong and wrong.

Spend some time clicking through the other entries to the contest. They're impressive.

The second made me think of a table cloth. What?

I think my Sea Monkeys were all inbred and stupid. I never once saw them turn on the television or pick up the mail. I had, like, the carnival freaks of the Sea Monkey continuum.
