    1. 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.

      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.

    5. As someone who looks at eyes everyday under a microscope, I can confirm that human iris’ do not look like this
