Random Wildlife Up Close

 Here are some random rather queer SEMs (Scanning Electron Micrographs) I found on the Internet!

Radiolarian protozoans all make different silica  shell.  They are like snowflakes.  No two are the same!

Strange aren't they? I find it EPIC that Man has created electron microscopes to view the amazing yet weird world of "mini-life". Thank-you to PS MicroGraphs for the images. There are many more on the website if you want to have a look. I promise my next post will be the Spectacular Epic Poems, and the next one will be Getting Started with Bird-Feeding 3. Good-bye, and keep watching those birds!
