Super Macro Trichomes!

Hello everyone, I haven't made as many contributions to the forums as I'd have liked of late so I have decided to show you a little bit of what I've been up to.
First, an overview:
 A single Cannabis flower as viewed by a scanning electron microscope.
As we move in closer we can clearly see the trichomes:


Closer still:
 The two capitate-stalked trichomes in the foreground of the second image have actually fused to form a single larger head.
And in another part of the flower:
 We can clearly see the pistil, the "little red hairs", used to collect pollen.
I hope you enjoy!

Thanks guys! Glad you enjoy.
the man: On the microscope I was actually able to pan tilt and rotate the sample to see that it was actually fused.

snap sweet man thats pretty dope to be able to do that. ive always wanted to do it myself never got a chance.. i forget the newer type ones they use for living tissue now, that one would be cool.. doesnt have to coat the sample with silver or whatever
