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

… 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...

Hank33!

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.

Okay, another great round of awesome pics from participants so I’m gonna give the win to maniakman! They look so colorful and alien. Almost looks like mixed nuts you get at the local supermarket bulk bin section. Plus I have allergies so I can relate to the pic somewhat. :smiley:
