That is so cool. I mean, of course the colours have been added and all but it still looks cool as hell.

Micro Empire

...moving on from Macro Kingdom, we pass through the portal of a microscope to venture into the Micro Empire ... surrounding us … inhabiting us …

Stranger than fiction… molecular conflict and mitochondrial warfare … a heartstopping, subcellular epic … a truly microcinematic experience …
HOLY SHIT

photo from my current research project--glial cells in a mouse brain during a induced epileptic seizure
this is an insanely awesome technique used to visualize different resident cells of the CNS

I guess my excitement about this shows just how nerdy I am haha

Awesome! How I would love to work in a neuro lab. I recently aquired a star telecope. Might have to try and get some shots out of it..but days and nights are bright nowadays sadly.

Do you live in a city? I'm lucky that I live close enough to a city to enjoy the culture and atmosphere but I'm still just a few minutes (maybe 20 minutes) from areas secluded enough for perfect views of the night's sky!

WOW! that's so cool! I've always wanted to travel into the arctic! From videos and photos it houses some of the most uniquely gorgeous sights I've ever seen (however, I think this about a lot of places >_> basically I just want to travel and explore--its the nature of my innate curiosity haha)
