Back to on topic :-) Looking for hydra images, I came across this
one

"For several centuries artists have depicted the human figure,
still-lifes, landscapes or non-figurative motives. One subject has
been widely neglected all those years: Micro organisms!
The Micropolitan Museum finally exhibits these often overlooked
works of art which are only visible with the aid of the microscope.
Curator Wim van Egmond has collected the finest microscopic
masterpieces nature has ever produced during eons of natural
selection and other life-sculpting mechanisms."
And is it pretty, or what? I hope everyone will take a look around
on this site. Many of their images can be an inspiration for us.
