During my research work in biochemistry, cell biology, and neuroscience, I’ve collected gigabytes of images using microscopes. Microscope photos capture 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 be seen.
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 share something you wouldn’t usually see published in the biology world.
