coloured scanning electron micrograph

A coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a maggot or the larva of a bluebottle fly (Protophormia sp.) with tiny teeth-like fangs extending from its mouth. The maggots of this fly are used medicinally to clean wounds. The maggots are sterilised and placed in the wound, where they feed on dead tissue and leave healthy tissue untouched. Their saliva contains anti- bacterial chemicals which maintain sterility in the area. Maggots are used on ulcers and deep wounds away from organs or body cavities, most often being used to treat diabetic ulcers on the feet.

Coloured scanning electron micrograph of a house dust mite (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus). Millions of dust mites inhabit the home, feeding on shed skin cells. They mainly live in furniture, and are usually harmless. However, their excrement and dead bodies may cause allergic reactions in susceptible people

Thinking about buying the full version, for better quality. Maybe try and film some storms coming in.
6 month exposure pin hole camera

Apparently made from a soda-can with a 2.5mm hole punched into the metal and a sheet of photographic paper.
The little gaps and disturbances in the suns lines across the sky show a fingerprint of the weather (ie cloudy days) over the 6 months, kinda like the rings in a tree showing seasons of good and bad weather.

How come no one picked this one up?
