this is one of my inner cheek cells, stained with a DNA-binding fluorophore, and photographed using my Nikon D90 body attached to an epifluorescent microscope at 1000X.
post-processing to make it more "pretty" using Tangle FX and iColorama on iPad.

By far the most original idea in the whole challenge.
Intriguing is the least it can be called.
I thought the "spot" looked bacteria-like, but I would never had guessed it were indeed bacteria.
To be honest...until now I thought it was an abstract approach of the back of a woman's head with long hair *blush*
wow, some crazy low scores.
i guess this wasn't manufactured enough for the "ooh pretty" voters. i quite enjoyed this as a unique entry, figured you have a digital microscope and took a picture with it of some cells under some blue/black lights for the effect.
nothing in the rules say you *can't* use a digital microscope to take pictures for the challenges...
