Hmmm
Just how small are ants anyways?
I don't know about anyone else, but this seems a little frivolous to me

Shot taken with a Pentax Scanning Electron Microscope maybe??

looks fake to me

Pretty amazing how the whole ant is in focus! Must be shot at f64 or something like that.

No.

Sorry.

Fail.

This looks so fake it hurts my eyes!

It's real, but taken with a scanning electron microscope of some sort.

forensicscientist · 10-12-2010, 08:24 AM

yes, definitely SEM, with colorization.....but not sure if its totally real. SEM requires ant to be in a vacuum, so that makes me wonder if the "chip" is real???

It's an image from this book...

Amazon.com: Microcosmos: Discovering The World Through Microscopic Images From 20 X to Over 22 Million X Magnification (9781554077144): Brandon Broll: Books

Here's an image of velcro from the same book:

the tiny world is always cool
