This December Blizzard shut down the entire Northeast for days before Christmas. Here, we had 2 feet of the white stuff from this storm.

a magnifying lense. experiment.

This creature can stretch it's body a very long distance. And change shape to fit anywhere.

Funky microscopic organism display at some museum that I don't remember (possibly the interim Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco); shot for an article on low-light photography

A small £3 attachment from Tiger has allowed me to turn my phone into a microscope.

Very small Dendrite crystal, asymmetrical.

Very rare twinned Dendrite crystal group. Just as other types of crystals "twin" or grow together as siamese twins, so too do snowflakes.

One of my favorites!
