If you've ever whiled away an afternoon staring at shapes in the clouds, you'll appreciate Molecular Expressions, a gallery of startling etchings from the surfaces of everyday microprocessors. The microscopic images were photographed with "reflected Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) microscopy and a retardation plate, sometimes with oblique illumination enhanced with filtered gels". Got that? From the crossword puzzle containing names of chip creators to California license plates displaying processor version numbers to Daffy Duck, the designs and their origins will intrigue as much as, if not more than, the process used to reveal them.
