Medical Images

So I was browsing the web for public domain images to make a desktop wallpaper for all you *3* blog followers. ;) In the process, I came across this cool site from the National Institutes of Health's Library of Medicine Web site. Lots of fun images, many of them public domain. There are scary prints of medical instruments used long ago. Suddenly you understand why people feared doctors and dentists, way back then.

There are cool posters from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. And several current images, like the one at left. Who knew cells could render so beautifully in a Miro'esque way! I'll doubt my drawings will look like this when I take Microbiology.

I spent hours browsing this site! On the most part, not many images would appeal as a desktop picture. But I did find a few—like this one! It's colorful and abstract, and not too nerdy? :) One of these days, I'll create a desktop wallpaper for you.
