Over time spent conducting biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience research, I’ve collected gigabytes upon gigabytes of microscopy images. Each individual image captures one plane and one instant of an organic system, usually in some state of artificial freezing and/or lighting-up. Generally, images like this are created to serve narrow scientific ends, but there’s also more to see.
These galleries display selected microscopy images, altered, cropped, and processed for broader scientific—and artistic—purposes: to make compelling compositions; to investigate vertical planes; to emphasize static and noise; to find unexpected organic structures; to point out neighbours; to feel out interesting textures; sometimes just to do things you wouldn’t see in a publication.
