porphyrin rings and other nanostructures

[Diane]

Hi,
I was cruising around on google and found this lovely site, that shows pictures of very tiny structures, including those that are basic to cells. I debated putting this link here, or under Cells and Stars.. but because it's so visual, I decided here was best. So intriguing to see these little self assembling bits at a 'regular' size. Easier to imagine them for real, when pictures exist. Enjoy!

Thanks Diane for this amazing site.

I found very useful the fact that you could click on pictures and find all the explanations about it.
I just took a look at some and the nanoguitar is already a must since it's only 10µm long.

I actually posted a response earlier and it must have vanished into cyberspace....

great stuff - could spend weeks looking at the little critters.
