Damn, who knew we had watermarks in our eyes when you look at them under a microscope! I wonder what mine say lol. Explains all the floaters I get at least

The Lasix these days is getting weird if they etch “sciencephotolibrary” across the lens of the eye

Seems to be a false-colorized construction of many SEMs which means the specimen would have had to have been dessicated which introduces a lot of typographical artifacts for any very wet specimen. The little shriveling, for example. This is very likely not what a human eye would really look like if you could get up close to one. Id’s actually be surprised if this was truly a human one, too, just given that there are practical limits to the size of specimens in the vacuum chamber.
Cool image none-the-less.

Very nice! Is the writing inside the eye part of it?

It’s good to finally be able to read what my eye floaters say after all these years.

A magnification that big shows the radial furrows to be *extremely* large in comparison to the pupil and I wouldn’t expect to see a full pupil considering the size of those crevices. I find this photo hard to believe tbh.

Its a butthole
Wonderful
Well that’s kind of gross

Trypophobia trigger.
This can’t be a microscope view though.
Everything’s gross, if sufficiently close.

Where are the fingers??
It’s clearly a sand worm
Looks like a top view of a black hole with the accretion disk
genuinely how did they get the eye under the microscope
This is terrifying
So eyes are actually disgusting
Which part? That seems like the visible part of the eye.
As someone who looks at eyes everyday under a microscope, I can confirm that human iris’ do not look like this
Never knew I had watermarks in my eyes
