Guess who got a microscope for xmas?

EYE DID!

So many things to examine and be grossed out about!
I used to own one of those magnification make up mirrors, and it was the best day of my life when the lights in it died and it got trashed. I REALLY don't need to know about all of the imperfections on my face. God knows nobody else is looking at me that closely, why the hell should I suffer over it?

This is Quincey's eye. I am AMAZED at all the little freaky fibers and strands and holes in the iris. Super freakin' cool and somewhat disturbing and beautiful too!

Here is the toe pad of my dog 'Captain's' toe.

Any suggestions of other things to look at are much appreciated. I'll post them here if they look cool. It's digital, so I'm a bit limited because it hooks up to my computer, so 'elephant skin from the zoo' is not an option. ;)

ha! That is how I got my user pic :)

I like the feather ones you posted later on too. I think it would be interesting to see some other animal-related ones.

Bugs would be cool, but I'll have to wait until it's a bit warmer out!
