This is your tounge magnified to the cellular level :P

The little toulip shaped objects lining the crevices are your taste buds.
I suppose the crevice is the pore, haha.

Just bringing a little A&P to the Dgrin challenges. :rofl

    anatomy and physiology

    it's a microscope shot, not super crazy magnification. great thing about biological systems, you don't need to go to really really small (think electron microscopes) to see neat stuff.

    mr P, you work in a lab?

    Nah I dont work at a lab, I'm a Biology major student and I was taking photos of slides for me to study off..of and I figured these were pores hah so I just wanted to share them.

    Some microscopes are made to be attached to a television or computer screen and allows saving images through the computer, but what I did was much simpler. I just used a small point and shoot camera (Konica KD-500Z), set the flash to off and turned on flower-power (macro) mode, aim it inside one of the eye pieces and shoot! Easy peasy.

    :D

    Yup, I've done that with micro and telescopes - the little point and shoot comes in handy.

    The scopes that are "made to be attached..." aren't anything special. There's just a provision for a T-mount for any camera that can accept those threads via an adapter. If you're really interested, you may be able to get an adapter for your specific camera and mount it up. The cameras that are mounted to most bio-lab grade scopes are nothing more than a simplified CCD that's in your point-and-shoot.
