A medical sample?

Not quite! Its actually a paper and plastic CD slip case photographed at 40X. Because of the minimal depth of field when shotting thru a microscope I couldnt get both the surface, with the bubbles on, and the fibrous part below both in focus, so I took two photographs at different focus points and combined them as layers in Photoshop. The two layers overlapped slightly due to focus shift but I left the borders in.

Go!

This is the word go as displayed on my book reader (Sony PRS 300), and viewed through my microscope at 40X.

Photographed with the Blackberry.

A household abstract!

Just saw this one day while laying down and looking up!

A little Ray of Sunshine...

...on a cloudy (and very windy!) day.
Had to get down really low and point the camera up-a dirty knee shot!
