Microscope slide of rare tropical disease blood cells? Or miniature glass crystal flowers in a shallow dish?

[Susan Wakely]

I like the idea of it being a microscope slide. Now that would be a rare disease.

[Diana]

Great shot of these delightful little crystals.

[Oli Lindenskov]

Nice pic👍

[Casablanca]

It's a good question! Probably flowers as the size is consistent....

[Agnes]

Very special

[winghong_ho]

I have no idea, but it is a lovely image.

[Krista Marson]

Eye candy either way!

[william wooderson]

I suspect the latter but the thought that you're a scientist about to develop a brilliant cure is very appealing!

[Bucktree]

Makes an interesting coaster for a drink.

[Paula Fontanini]

Either way it's a bit like a beautiful kaleidoscope!

[Jacqueline]

Lovely!

[Pat Knowles]

Very pretty slide !

[carol white]

Lovely

[Carole Sandford]

Very pretty, whatever it is!

[Beverley]

Wow? Amazing

[Christine Sztukowski]

Flowers hopefully-lovely

[Pyrrhula]

I go for the second choose. Great circle and edit.

[Elisa Smith]

Looks wonderful on black.

It’s actually a round 50cm (20”) bowl full of glass crystal pink flowers. I noticed the petri dish likeness after I edited it!
Thanks for your comments and guesses.

[Renee Salamon]

Fabulous and hopefully the latter

[Dione Giorgio]

The second option, I think. Great shot.

[Valerie Chesney]

Very pretty & hopefully flowers?!

[Kathy]

Haha! If only diseases were so pretty.

[Rick]

Nice capture.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Clever capture - very effective.
My daughter's a virologist; she tells me that viruses are often rather beautiful when viewed under the microscope.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

@randystreat According to my daughter, a virologist, viruses are often lovely to look at when viewed under a microscope. Strange to think that aesthetically pleasing things can cause wreak so much havoc and heartbreak.

I’ve seen a few of my own slides of blood and biopsies. They really are fascinating.

This is very pretty, whatever it is! Fav.
