It's been awhile since I've been active on any online communities but the perfect opportunity to interact again with you guys just came up. 
The museum that I run was just loaned an electron microscope so needless to say I took the opportunity to take some pictures of some things I have in my tank room. If you remember I did an octopus dissection when the Asian Food Market octopuses I bought died and I saved a beak from one of these dissections. Given its size and the fact that it's a 3 dimensional object, getting a nice close up has never been easy but I was able to throw it under the electron microscope last night. Here's the images I collected of just the tip of the beak (top half). Magnification is located in the bottom right of the picture.
