This is what an inkjet printer looks like up close while it's printing. It won first place in the 2026 Nikon Small World photomicrography competition. The print head fires tiny droplets that soak into the paper's fibers, creating a wet splash on a bed of cellulose.

Shavings off a rosebush stem. #microscope #photomicrography
Shaving off of a rose bush stem under a microscope. Approximately 40X. The external cells are green. The interior of the stem is translucent white. If I were better at identifying the parts, I could tell you which were the vascular bundles and which were the pith, etc. Shaving off of a rose bush stem under a microscope. Approximately 40X.

In the interests of distracting myself, I designed this print: "Sparkle Space Tsunami" tonight. I had a luminous cave ceiling, some chemical crystal photomicrography, and multicolored digital stars just waiting for their chance to shine.
