Image Boss! (no politics, no sexy pics) Have fun. ❤️

Not your “typical” firefighter in uniform… (not trying to make light of the current situation in Turkey … I wish them a quick solution to their plight)

Who shined their flashlight on this building?

… is it just me or does RC’s pic look like they are shooting light cannons against a “Stargate” ?

If for no other reason than the combination, Raccoon City takes this one for firefighters and flashlights.

All yours, RC!

Thanks!

I'd like to see creepy sculptures.

Lots of great entries.

I like this creepy sculpture the best, so the new Image Boss is...

Hey, thanks for the win racoon! Okay, I would like to see microscopic images. Pls also name what the image is. :-) For example, the below image is...

SAND

Jumping spider eyes at 20x magnification.

(looks like a drawing instead of a photograph.)

“Pollen from a variety of common plants including the sunflower, primrose and lily.”

Soap foam

Paraphyses & Sporangia

Corona virus

Once inside the cell, the virus releases genetic material that effectively tricks the host cell into replicating the invading virus thousands of times. A swarm of new virions eventually burst through the cell wall and move on to infect other cells. That moment is pictured here in a cell from an American COVID-19 patient.

For the Chemistry geeks:

AFM (colorized images, top) visualizes the starting material, radical intermediates, and product from an STM-driven reaction (bottom).

Leo Gross of IBM Research Zurich and coworkers there and at the University of Santiago de Compostela used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to push a molecule to react and atomic force microscopy (AFM) to image atomic-level details of that molecule as it formed radical intermediates and a final product.
