Came across this interesting blog article about artist Danny Quirk who specializes in scientific illustrations.
I could say more, but better to show you some of his "work"...

On that note, August 9, 2012 must be the time for all media to report on all sorts of things found in people's ears and noses.
Fox News reported on a story about a lego being stuck inside a kid's nose for 3 years.
In the past year, I must have removed several cockroaches, ticks, rocks, pebbles, play-doe, paper, cotton, and even one moth. Never a spider however.
In perhaps one of the most impressive arrays of foreign objects removed from the ear, nose and throat (I believe in the thousands) is on display at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia. All objects were removed by a single ENT (Dr. Chevalier Jackson). If you are ever in Philadelphia, this museum is a must see.

It is a camera that takes a "living" picture. What does that mean?
In essence, it is a camera that takes a picture taking ALL the light information that is present such that the picture can be manipulated as if you haven't taken the picture yet.
It sounds confusing, but practically speaking, it means that one can literally refocus any part of a picture AFTER it has been taken. We are not talking about photoshopping using the blur or sharpen filter. It is literally refocussing a picture AFTER it has been taken!!!
You need to see it to believe it...
Click here to view some sample pictures. Touch (click) to refocus any part of the picture; pinch (double-click) to zoom.
I can't wait to see some medical photography done with this camera which starts at $399.
Purchase through the company's website.
