Long nights, sitting at the microscope, slide after slide.......don't you just wish you had a beer? Slurp slurp. Ahhhh, thats better. Wait, I wonder what *beer* would look like under the microscope! Let's try it!
I think thats what someone at Florida State thought when they decided to start this project, Molecular Expressions: The Beershots Photo Gallery, which has digital images of bunches of famous beers from around the world.
Chinese beer Tsingtao:
Pilsner Urquel:
Guinness:
Heineken:
You can buy prints, posters, and even a book. No money? There's a free screen saver. And if beer ain't your bag, baby, there's a whole other project for cocktails.
Find out how they did it here.

I have a tie with a print of a microscopic photograph of red wine. Very handsome, and nobody ever recognizes what it is until I tell them.

And I spent all my Friday nights in lab drinking my beer instead of looking at it under a microscope. I'm such a loser.
Beer is beautiful.
