"Amazing" Scanning Electron Microscope Pictures

I am amazed but I am also cringeing from the sight of these. I feel sorry for the little guys, like the ants, seeing these most of their lives. I think.


Cut hairs and shaving foam between two razor blades

Bacteria on the surface of a human tongue

A wood or heathland Ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip

The corroded surface of a rusty metal nail

The nylon hooks and loops of velcro

The eight eyes (two groups of four) on the head of a Mexican red-kneed tarantula

The head of a mosquito

Human sperm (spermatozoa), the male sex cells

The surface of a strawberry

Eyelash hairs growing from the surface of human skin

The head of a Romanesco cauliflower

Cigarette paper

A human head louse clinging to a hair

The end of the tongue (proboscis) of a hummingbird hawkmoth
