for those wondering any about what i do here in texas thats all science-y….its this sort of thing. this image was taken using a confocal microscope, which is what i use in my research. this kind of stuff is not extremely hard to do and i hope to get cool images like this in my spare time when im not dissecting chicken embryos and watching their stem cells communicate with each other.
