Photomicrography Reveals The World’s Smallest Wonders

A Nice Cold One

By first glance, judging by previous entries, this image appears to be of something with an excessive amount of eyes. But those are not eyes, they’re air bubbles…in beer. A Budweiser was chilled to 4° C and put into a container and pressurized with Freon. It was then atomized and opened, positioned in such a way that the contents of the opened beer would splatter onto a flawlessly shined-up silicone surface, which was then photographed. A cool bit of information observed through this process was that different beer brands resulted in different patterns. This experiment was conducted by Michael W. Davidson from The Florida State University.
