Post this in the Lego thread and watch peoples' heads explode. Very impressive.

In fact, I've been lurking in this thread quite a while, not sure I've ever posted, so let me take this opportunity to say thanks to everyone for all of the awesome pictures.

Cracked has such awesome microscope pictures. Although some of them scare the hell out of me, some are pretty awesome.

Those salmon-coloured things look like moth feathers. I love this kind of thing

Alright, dumbass question: how do the color work in these kind of pictures? I mean they're not actual colors right? So is it post processing like in the nebulae pictures or what?

To me they look like the chippings you get from sharpening a pencil.

Yes, the colors are fake.
It's an image of an electron microscope that detects emitted electrons and by that can create very clear images of extremely small things. This is because electrons have a much smaller wavelength than visible light, but this also means you can't get color images as this information would need to come from the visible light spectrum.

However, you could detect differences in density of electrons in different materials (darker, or lighter etc.) and then add fake colors to highlight stuff.

First thing I thought of too. "Oh look at this awesome mural, let me paint over part of it."

You guys realize the tag is part of the mural, right? I swear, it's like people have never seen graffiti before

 

[wolfmat]

It's not even tags. It's pieces.

Those are all bull shit though ..

Jordan's one is legit.

I went to my room and I closed the door and I cried,`` Michael Jordan said. ``For a while I couldn`t stop. Even though there was no one else home at the time, I kept the door shut. It was important to me that no one hear me or see me.

Dogs piss. Humans tag.

Besides artistic tagging, I always link tagging as the same as a dog peeing and marking territory.
