Um... this looks sciency. But might not be! Except it probably involves a microscope. A single strand of shag carpet, seen from above, under a microscope. A butterscotch ripple pudding. I'm not very good at these games.

i don't know, but it's right purty.

20x view of Jeff's beard dunked in propidium iodide.

well alex gets closest to the jackpot- it's laminin mixed with cy3 secondary antibody, stamped on poly-l-lysine coated glass- usually it forms 5 micrometer thick stripes but this time something seriously funky happened when i put media containing serum on it

a big chunk on the side formed this network and peeled off the surface

so, wrong but pretty
