Cat Fur Exposed

Okay, I'm sure just about everybody in the world has something better to do than look at microscopy images of fur I pulled out of my cat's tail this evening (don't worry, she has a lot to spare).

But, isn't this neat? Look at the structure? Look how part of it is white even though it doesn't look white in normal vision. And if I would have posted a full size shot of the capture, you would just see amazing detail in it.

I know it is fairly obvious when I think about it, but I'm just stunned at how complex things are. Like, for instance, this beetle wing:

Don't worry, it was dead near the window and had wings to spare.

I dunno, it is just neat to me.
