This video presents images produced by several cameras and microscopes, shifting from one to another as they zoom in closer and closer on a leaf. Finally, as the narrator sadly notes, that's as far as we can go .. for now. By the way, did anyone see a face in the chloroplast?

Oh, but I do rankle Mark Armitage. He has taken to cc'ing me his email to others, all in this bluff, indignant, "me am too a scientist" pose, and it is hilarious. This is probably the last one I'll post here, but I do hope he keeps sending me this stuff — it provides a moment of levity.

Very nice! The chloroplasts look like electronics at high magnification.
And note the influence of Charles & Ray Eames (Powers of 10)
Hmm, that's an epidermal cell broken open, and they don't have chloroplasts except for guard cells around stomates. And it appears the image changed from scanning to transmission microscopy because under the SEM thylakoids look like flat pillows of membranes. But all the trichomes on the leaf surface were cool.
