Being a forensic scientist, these photos are of particular interest to me
and also beautifully taken by unknown sources.
An ant, Formica fusca, holding a microchip
Surface of an Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory silicon microchip
Eyelash hairs growing from the surface of human skin
The surface of a strawberry
Bacteria on the surface of a human tongue
Human sperm (spermatozoa)
Nylon hooks and loops of Velcro
Household dust: includes long hairs of cat fur, twisted synthetic and woolen fibers,
serrated insect scales, a pollen grain, and plant and insect remains
The weave of nylon stocking fibers
The head of a mosquito
Head louse clinging to a human hair
Eight eyes (two groups of four) on the head of a tarantula
Cut human hairs and shaving foam between two razor blades
Cigarette paper the tobacco is rolled in
Corroded surface of a rusty nail
Mushrooms spores
Clutch of butterfly eggs on a raspberry plant
Calcium phosphate crystal
Now if you think about it along with the Locard principle,
is it any wonder why forensics plays such an important part in solving mysteries?
