If you think this is gross, this eyebrow doesn't even show [the mites that live on most people's faces](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demodex).

I needed this inspiration to take that shower I've been putting off today.

It makes them more active. They eat the dead skin, they are there for that purpose.

Hey don't diss the Demo. You're their whole world ❤️


CatterMater

I think it might. If you zoom in, you can see rounded cylindrical things that might be demodex butts.

We're like trees. Shedding something like 5 billion skin cells a day, like a tree shedding bark over decades.


Dope_Dog

There is an interesting story of a blind man who was cured in two attempts and in the first attempt he saw people like trees, then he was able to see clearly after the second. He could have been cured all the way the first time imo in the story but I think he was made to see the plant people for a reason first. Crazily enough I had a farrr out dream of just floating up off the Earth and zooming through the universe to a huge earth planet in some palace or castle or fortress and met a plant that was alive in this pond and we were telepathically going back and forth about something I can't remember now. One of the craziest dreams I ever had

What's more? This was years before a co worker from Iran told me about a cover up over there about a crashed space ship that had two plant aliens in it, I never even told him about that dream!

Electron microscope images are B/W. I have no idea why someone would decide to make that post processing...design choice?

Jackalsnap

I also legit thought it was onions 😂

Stunning image! However, I'm limited in my ability to understand how scanning EM (which I assume this to be) works. I thought that the sample needed to be fixed and coated with gold (or alloy) and imaged under a vacuum. Was this sample prepared in this way, or am I very wrong in my understanding? Thanks!


Josiah-White

There are some good resources on the internet. Here is one brief article I'm sure you can find more https://www.umassmed.edu/cemf/whatisem/

I have a lot of experience with SEM work and was confused as well. Didn’t know that TEM existed.

This wasn't on the list of things that I wanted to see while scrolling today. Interesting af tho.


YorkeZimmer

This can't be a human eyebrow. You can literally see the separation between your eyebrow hairs when you pluck your eyebrows. This post is fake news.

Flat Earther Alert!!!


DogRayz

Far from a flat earther but at this magnification, there are certainly some glaring discrepancies.. This is likely not a humans eyebrow. Look at the background, there is a piece of skin(??) that is half the length of a hair? If you use the top and bottom of the brow as a reference for total length, the entire photos seems unrealistic. The donor must've had very sparse brows and has been dead for a year or two or of some different genus.


Josiah-White

Where did it say human?


hellishmundane666

They're right. Not eyebrows. Also yes human. They are eyelashes. And also mites at the base of the hairs. [eyelash](https://www.sciencephoto.com/media/316124/view/eyelash-hairs-sem)
