In 2010, photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher published a book of remarkable images that captured the honeybee in an entirely new light. By using powerful scanning electron microscopes, she magnified a bee’s microscopic structures by hundreds or even thousands of times in size, revealing startling, abstract forms that are far too small to see with the naked eye.

Now, as part of a new project called “Topography of Tears,” she’s using microscopes to give us an unexpected view of another familiar subject: dried human tears.

Pics are amazing.
 
Those photographs are gorgeous. Being the metaphorical person that I am I was not surprised that the tear of grief looked like an aerial view of the industrial edge of an urban environment after a bomb raid. Pretty much what the feeling under the tears is. By the same token, I liked how organic the onion tear looked but then saw that it may be similar to tear gas tears--wish she had shown one of those.
