Here's a rare intersection of my vocation (chemistry) and avocation (photography): beautiful photomicrographs.

My type of photography, Pete. These are nature photographs too, you know. So put them in a gallery and let us comment.

Tony,

I wouldn't/can't post them. The photos are not mine. I only saw them because I read the publication (C&E News). I'd love to make this kind of photograph, but I have no access to the equipment. Who was that guy who was an NPN contributor briefly, then got into microphotography in a big way? Shame on me, I bought a flash bracket from him....I ought to know.

What I enjoy about the photomicrographs is that they are so far from what we see every day, that we let go and just enjoy the arrangements, colors and shapes.
