Wired Gallery: Striking SPM Images
On the subject of scientific visualization, Wired magazine just showcased a gallery of images on the nanoscale from scanned-probe microscopes (SPM): Scientists Scan Striking Nanoscale Images.
To me, the images are striking not just artistically, but that they really show the level of detail we can image these days. The images showcase individual atoms and molecules — real visual proof of the chemical world. Before the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope in 1986, this was basically unimaginable.

Nice! I especially like the diindenoperylene/CuPc. Probably because I see too many perylene derivatives as it is.
