Molecular Expressions can be viewed via the Internet. If you think that scientists in lab coats looking through electron microscopes all day are nerds with no life, you never thought of putting a slide of Budweiser or Ben and Jerry's ice cream under the microscope. At the National High Magnetic Laboratory's Optical Microscopy Division, the scientists seem to thrill at putting anything under the microscope.
Science can point out some interesting things.
Such as how Guinness Stout, under the beer collection, appears under a microscope. When you arrive at the site, enter the photo gallery, and you will quickly see why this is one of the largest collections of microscope photographs, also known as photomicrographs, on the Web. You can also view natural items, such as DNA, amino acids and hormones. The newest collection, silicon creatures, captures cartoon characters and even the FSU Seminole head in the circuitry of computer chips. The images take a few moments to appear on your screen, but it's about the same amount of time that it would take you to adjust your eye to a microscope.
