I think those are actually eyes that you see there. The smile is proof evolution has a sense of humor

This happens to me pretty much every time I come on the internet. Typically goes like this: Photocatalysts... nanorods... quantum mechanics... 1 hr later... aquarium stufff... 3 hrs later... Batman and the filmography of Adam West...

How small of an organism can you do? I've always wanted to see what a bed of cyano and it's associated fauna looks like under a scope like that. When I looked at my cyano under a microscope, it was as though several species of bacteria, dinos, and worms were using the cyano as a scaffold upon which they lived. It would be cool to get a super detailed image of an assemblage like that.

or small bristle worm. They're suuuuper intricate when you look at them under a microscope.
