Microscopic Photography
Today I got to take pictures with a microscope. I’d been given the overview of how it all worked once before, but today was the first time I ever really got to play with one. Everything I shot was off of the same slide. I’m told it was a mouse cochlea, but it looked like art to me.
This one was my favorite image of the bunch…
The rest can be seen here…

These were fun to take!
note: further conversation with the histologist who stained the slides in the first place, Dr. TK Bhattacharyya, revealed this to actually be the cochlea of a guinea pig. Live and learn.
