There are plenty of body parts that nobody wants to see on anybody’s body but their own. That goes double when a microscope is involved but these pictures are just way too interesting not to share.
1. Fingernail – despite looking smooth, fingernails have a ton of small grooves and spaces giving them a very unique texture. You’d never know without this picture.
2. Eyelashes – turns out it’s not just mascara left on your eyelashes. Tiny mites can make their home on the thin bristles and cause itching and irritation for weeks.
3. Teeth – from far away most people’s teeth look okay, but up close sometimes the story is much different. Magnify that to microscopic level and the results are truly terrifying.
4. Tongue – looking more like some sort of alien being than a part of the body, the tongue is covered in tiny taste buds that look like little spikes under a microscope.
5. Scabbing blood – this one is a stomach-turner as lacy scab tissue works its way around the red blood cells. Don’t spend too much time examining this or you may get a little nauseated.
6. Burnt Skin Cells – looking just as gross as it sounds, the skin seems flaky, papery. The lattice-like ridges really set this picture apart.
7. Small Intestine – A little more psychedelic than the others, the small intestine is a lot less disgusting under close scrutiny than you would expect.
8. Hair – whoever’s hair this is needs a serious talk about conditioner. Split ends for days!
