Magnified snow looks really weird

[t-man152]

these pictures are pictures of the most magnified snowflakes ever.

these pictures are weird. you can see the structure and all these straight lines and right angles, looks more like a building structure than a snowflake.

 

[t-man152]

the first picture looks like a tie fighter by the way

 

[Albrecht.]

there is no fucking way that is not clay sculptures of snowflakes

 

[t-man152]

thats just the look that electron microscopes give it gives it a caly/fake look in comparisson heres a pic of a spider on the same type of microscope

 

[t-man152]

wow most of the responses in this thread are mine at this point

 

[Alexander_Keith]

For the most part electron microscopes are black and white, the kinda turquoise blue ones are false color images. Still crazy though

 

[wAy2sTeEzY4u]

and it says 1337 on it

 

[SkiMN]

And people wonder why that shit can hurt...

 

[396222687862]

the blue could be die to see it easier, but ones that have different shades are fake colored. the second one is total bullshit, but only has one shade

 

[skiierman]

Damn, that's so sick looking.

 

[t-man152]

their actually all real. parts of some pictures were colored to make identification easier but they are all snowflakes straight out of an electron microscope

 

[scarroll]

Thats pretty sick. Things on the microscopic leval are usually awesome.

 

[yojimbo]

ill

 

[Peter.]

yeah have you ever looked at a cd under a microscope? crazy stuff

 

[skiEER]

that looks so sick

 

[Charley.]

i once heard that there is no 2 identical snowflakes

 

[Calb3rt]

leggo my eggo

 

[t-man152]

yeah I heard that too. the guy who said that probably went to every country where it snows and checked out every snowflake there. and then did it again the next time it snowed keeping a log of all the snowflakes in case 10 years from now in Mammoth theirs a snowflake that looks identical to a snowflake from 3 years ago in new zealand.

 

[cmeriptahoe]

that would be true.

 

[soulskier]

that is the coolest thing i've seen today

 

[hartig]

sooooooo sick

 

[Tasche]

An electron microscope has no color a computer compiles the data and forms it into an immage so none of those are actual color.

Also fucking coolest shit ever the first one with the right angles? if that is really snow then damn there is so much we dont know.

 

[t-man152]

that first picture is snow magnified to the highest possible magnification. magnifying it more doesnt show any other sub structures to the snow.

 

[mattster]

do they get progressively less magnified as you read down the list?

 

[t-man152]

sort of. the first two are incredibly magified and then the others are a bit less magnified

 

[mattster]

I think magnified anything looks really wierd

[cgregg]

That is wierd looking

 

[jimmychung]

e- microscopes rule, i wish i had one at home.

 

[akerbacker]

wow that is actually soooo cool

 

[Forum*]

Deffinatly the coolest thing I've seen today, its crazy how they freeze to be geometrically identical.

 

[jayamait]

thats whacked up.

 

[720laxskier]

thats what i was thinking

 

[Jake...]

not legit.

 

[suzia]

snowflakes are dank

 

[cracko]

i think its legit, and sick as hell.

 

[jibmaster_josh]

i fuckin hate spiders

 

[Albrecht.]

cool post hansel

 

[-benedetto]

yeah me too. in first grade when we used to make them out of paper

 

[nicurrie]

that spider is fucked.

 

[RussellK141]

amazing

 

[SkiingLlama]

of all of the snow flakes that fall every year everwhere, there must be two that are the same

 

[Holte]

when you break it down small enough, nothing is identical.

 

[skiierman]

 

[Tasche]

you are a jack ass. Actually if you break down something small enough everything is identical.

 

[Erie]

cool cool

 

[cmo]

the shape of the snowflake depends on the temperature, just a little tidbit

 

[skiierman]

 

[rynmartn]

dude just looking at snowflakes makes me wonder how anything in the world got made by chance
