Nature is the best artist.
Some of the most beautiful images I have seen are the breath-taking landscapes nature provides and the images in Science Journals!
I think there's a lot of cool images that are taken for granted in Science, and so I would like to provide an opportunity to see them in a different light, and appreciate their beauty

This is an image from Brainbow which is a project led by Harvard to determine the connections of each neuron in the nervous system.
The picture is from the Hippocampus in mice where neurons are 'tagged' with different coloured flourescent proteins to view them individually

This is Konrad Lorenz, an Austrian zoologist who was a founding father for Ethology (study of Animal Behaviour).
This image shows Lorenz leading a group of geese who believe him to be their mother through genetic & social imprinting

This is picture of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) of a fruit fly larvae. The cells in the PNS have been genetically altered so they express a particular flourescent protein so they can be seen in UV light. The image is from a competition run by Why Flies at the University of Wisconsin.
This is an image of fibroblasts (cells which produce structural proteins for cells, tissues and organs) in the mouse where actin and microtubules (structural proteins) have been flourescently tagged
A beautiful picture of Dr Jane Goodall, a primatologist in the field (1960s). She played a pivotal role in our understanding of chimpanzee learning, intelligence and social dynamics
A close-up (20x) picture of some Quartz! From The Scripps Research Institute, CA.
Quartz crystals make up sand, and so are used to make glass as well as their use for electrical systems like watches, radios etc.

Another from Brainbow, such a beautiful project!
I know this isn't Nature per se, but it could be argued it's an extended phenotype :p
This image doesn't need much introduction as it's from CERN which in itself is one of Science's most beautiful and productive collaborations bringing together the expertise of researchers from over 600 different research institutions from all over the world to understand the basic principles of our Universe and existence, amazing...
