On seeing the thread title, my first thought was of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy  :)

This image taken by a black and white security camera, then enhanced by advanced CSI technology. For real!-http://imgur.com/gallery/1a3H2

Ah, thanks! I couldn't see that, because NoScript had blocked the comments. When I temporarily enabled them, I could see it.
I figured that the coulours were probably digitally enhanced, but I didn't know you could get that sort of quality out of microscope lenses. I want one.

It does say magnified 22 million times, which (is that possible - I dont think something can be magnified that much!?!) makes me think electron, but I know nothing about this kind of technology.
