I don't remember where I found this, but it's really amazing. The 2005
conference on electron/ion microscopy gave awards for the best bizarre or art-like images produced using electron or ion microscopy. The images range from beautiful,
like the C60 crystalline lattice to the right, to extremely bizzare like the nano-meter scale toilet image to the left.

Today I will be coming back from our little camping trip (hopefully!) Until I get back to my labtop, I'll entertain you with another post on microscopy.
Like Nikon, microscopes manufacturer Olympus has a yearly microscopy photo competition, this years winners are up.
Flipping through Nature, I stumbled onto this commentary: The good, the bad and the ugly. Here's a taste:

But the description of "the toilet" as a 'collection site' for defects is really neat. :-P
Indeed, it looks like a defect via structure to me (connecting down to stripe conductors or gates). In any case it illustrates how things can go down the toliet anywhere.
Is the nano toilet uhmm biological?
Typo in title.
How does that toilet flush? Surface tension would make it impossible ;)
This one is pretty good too:
