Gotta Love Snow Flakes

The incredible beauty and symmetry of snow flakes never cease to amaze me.. here's a link I found that shows snow flake structures in a way you've probably never seen before, with an electron microscope:

This is very strange you are becoming quite well known for these werid things you now have the geek porn ip thing and now this

 

Geek Porn?!

 

They are quite amazing, no doubt about that.

 

Wow, the stereo 3-d snow flakes are fun too look at. It feels weird, but it works.

 

Im getting Disturbed Now

 

Fascinating.. I've never seen snow.

 

Thanks alot DG I had never seen such a beautiful thing. Great keep it up.

Cheers.

 

I can't see those in 3-d. Never could see anything in those "Magic Eye" posters that used to be everywhere...

 

I need to get me one of them electrode microscopes! I wonder if Canon has an attachment for one

 

nice post, interesting.

 

What beautiful formations. Thanks for sharing

 

I had a hard time seeing any of those posters myself, but this was really easy for me. Now if you are like nintendo with only one working eye, it won't work. Or if you have eye or brain damage from a hit from say a softball, it might be hard to see also.

 

LOL That would explain it!! It's nice that I now have an excuse for my stupidity! I can just blame it on the metal plates in my head! Before the softball met my face, I had nothing to blame!!

 

maybe your body somehow knew the future and prepared you for it so you wouldn't feel a sense of loss.


totally awesome pics, but if the scope is capable of 100,000x why did it only go to 36,000x?
