Are you ready for your extreme close-up? From optical micrography research at Florida State University and several high-tech computing labs comes this rich--and fun--hub of images and illuminations of substances captured under high-powered microscopes. These guys aren't nerds just for grins, either. They've got a book of astonishing and colorful images, and in further pursuit of art and commerce, they offer screensavers, wallpaper for your PC or Mac, and, yes, even ties. Scroll through eye-catching patterns of your favorite pharmaceuticals, beers, or vegetables, and don't forget the super-magnified surface of a Bon Jovi CD or a BIOS chip.
