Smithsonian - The Microscopic Structures of Dried Human Tears

Just Wow,

Photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher captures tears of grief, joy, laughter and irritation in extreme detail

In the past here on ATS a few members have shared images from water and ice which were photographed under a microscope, with each one being completely different.

Well, who would have thought tears from our eyes, under various emotions and conditions would give the same results?

These are just mind blowing indeed.

I would like to share my favorite top three.

“I started the project about five years ago, during a period of copious tears, amid lots of change and loss—so I had a surplus of raw material,” Fisher says. After the bee project and one in which she’d looked at a fragment of her own hip bone removed during surgery, she’d come to the realization that “everything we see in our lives is just the tip of the iceberg, visually,” she explains. “So I had this moment where I suddenly thought, ‘I wonder what a tear looks like up close?’”

"I'm sorry your husband just died but... could I have a sample of some of your tears?"

Cool pictures, though.

Fascinating!
Reminds me of the microscopic pictures I saw here about snowflakes.
Thanks for sharing.

Yes, that is what I was hinting at with regards to other members in the past sharing images from frozen/water et all

It appears water, in whatever form takes a whole different form from each other. It truly is fascinating.

Tears are a fascinating occurrence really. I guess the quantum Physics boys will include them in their pursuit of a new consciousness after death.
