    1. "Flying V" World's First Nano Guitar - which can be played by shooting laser light at the silicon strings. 2. Vinyl record grooves. 3. Tip of the worlds sharpest needle. The round blobs are individual atoms. 4. Underwater thermal vent creature. 5. Nano machine with the tip of a leg of a 1mm mite. 6. Morning Glory pollen. 7. Lobster eggs. 8. Chicken embryo. 9. Ants face. 10. Frost on a blade of grass. 11. Nano toilet. I think this one was built with a Scanning tunneling microscope.

      How about putting a discription before or after each picture so we don't have scroll up and down!

        How about learning to spell "description"

        Because you get more points this way!?

          What do point do? Sorry if it's a dumb question.

        To be honest rip, I haven't worked out how to do that. I use the old system as I fucked up my first post and some kind soul suggest I might do better with the old one. Know what you mean though, specially if you're down the bottom of the comments.

      Very nice post but i will add that most images you see here are actually probably a little bigger than they appear. Biological samples that are put into an SEM have to first be dehydrated and then coated with a layer of gold nanoparticles in order to show up in the SEM. Secondly, the toilet more than likely wasn't built by an SEM. If i am not mistaken that image was taken of a circuit, which aren't usually built by SEM's this was just a phenomena that happened to get captured by the microscope.

        I bow to your wisdom dad. Plus to you sir.
        • Juscallmedaddy | 1 year ago | +1
          and i too your sir. This is what i studied i have played with one of these many times : )

            Nice, as med toys go, this is one of the coolest along with the MRI, CAT and PET.

      Morning glory pollen? Can't you make LSD with those seeds?
      • cheese | 1 year ago | +2
        The seeds contain LSA which is about a tenth as potent as LSD but it has extreme vasoconstricting properties. I did some experiments with it on lab rats for a project in my honors Bio class in high school and found that its mildly addictive, causes circulation issues and wreaks havoc on the liver. I would reccomend that it only be done sparingly with at least a two weekend interval between doses. You can do hydrolysis on the LSA to turn it into LSD but possessing a large quantity of LSA and the equipment to perform such transformationbis highly illegal. I actually broke the law just making the stuff. Oh it does producer pretty vivid hallucinations in humans as well ;)

          Plus for the awesome info dude. Addiction is definitely an issue with Ipomea neurotoxins.

      Any idea what those nano machines are?? Freaking tiny!
      • deleted | 1 year ago | +1
        I'm really not sure I want to know for certain :o) I would build a babbage engine and surgical mechs myself, like robot wars goes good.
  • Sylvia | 1 year ago | +6
    Wow my boobs would look so great under one of those microscopes!
    • LocalSerialChiller | 1 year ago | +3
      I bet they would look fantastic under anything, including me :) (that's as close as we get to a valentines day sentiment here on H6)

      You have breasts, they cant not look great.

    #2 I want a super slowmo video of a needle travelling down those vinyl chasms.
    • deleted | 1 year ago | +1
      I did look but couldn't find one TJ.

    Microscopic Insects. 1# Blue Bottle Maggot 2# Water Bear 3# Bed Bugs on a bed cover.

    • deleted | 1 year ago | +3
      Nice pice man, love the Waterbear, looks like he's toting a Gatling.
      • NUFF | 1 year ago | +1
        waterbears are probably the coolest thing in the world. asexual as well as sexual reproduction, and can pretty much come back from death. ie, if they have no water at all, they will pretty much die untill they come into contact with water... moss kept in a museum for 100 years had some of theise on it, and they came back soon after the moss was sprayed down.

          True, these are without doubt the toughest creatures in the world and will be here long after mankind has disappeared up it's own arse.
    • Hanson666999 | 1 year ago | +1
      Whoops sorry. 1# should obviously be discounted as microscopic organism. It's shows what a blue bottle maggot looks like under magnification.
  • Gavz | 1 year ago | +2
    I wonder if we can burrow this cool microscope to find our Politicians integrity? Good fucking luck.
  • painwhore | 1 year ago | +2
    i like minatures
  • shedwig | 1 year ago | +2
    I never knew lobster eggs were so beautiful! And that frost on the grass is insane!

In addition to plain text you can also add links to:
- images
- video pages
- anything else
Simply add a link just like this: http://i.imgur.com/fhfnG.gif and we will do the rest. We will transform all links into clickable links and if the link points to an image or a youtube video page we will open that image / video in a clean pop.
