Microscopic Me

.
One of the christmas presents my dad's family bought for me (I mean boy*jelly) was a digital microscope.
.
You plug it into your computer and then think of things you want to look at microscopically.
.
.
So in the name of science, (and because I've shared pretty much everything about me), I give you:
.
(Click any picture to see it bigger - if you really want to!)
.
My scalp:
. Look! I have two hairs growing out of one follicle!
.
My eyelashes:
.A bit blurry because I couldn't keep my eye still long enough for the screen-grab.
Look how much my eye is watering!
.
One of my fingernails:
.

I promise my hands are clean!
This is the corner of one of my fingernails.
I don't bite my nails - do you?
.
My skin:
.
This is on my forehead.
Lest you all think I'm a liver-spot, blackhead ridden person, those "spots" are sebacious glands - where you secrete oil from.
.
My tongue:
.

Those are taste buds.
.

And a buzzing gnat thing which just happened to die in front of me *ahem*
.
.
It's so brilliant!
.
I (I mean boy*jelly) can't wait until the summer when there are flowers and insects to look at.
.
Can you think of anything else I can put under there?
.
Leave a comment but keep it clean!
I'm (I mean boy*jelly) not sticking the microscope anywhere ikky.

I would spend hours if I had one, just looking at random things.

I bet you can get some inspirational ideas!

My son would love one of those!

you could take lots of pics and make a party game using them, kids would love that, bit different to pass the parcel too, you know things like a cheese grater, toothbrush, or even a cats nostril lol

I would look at fabric and yarn and anything else I could find! How totally cool is that!! DH has a tie that is a print that says its tequila as seen through a microscope...just an idea!

Madi said...

Jill said...

Ohmygod! I was torn between shrieking Cool! And Ewww! Hahaha. I'm so not clever this morning but I do like the toothbrush idea posted above. (Though I'm terrified to see what you may find lurking in our brushes!)

That is so grossly cool!! My kids would love it. (So would I, and we would all end up fighting over it) I would try the carpet, which would probably frighten the life out of me!

Esther said...

Good fun! I'd be checking out lots of different pieces of fabric.

I can think of any number of things to put under it...

Lindsey said...
