Purple haze: What party drinks look like magnified 1,000 times - and this one is just a vodka and tonic | Mail Online - StumbleUpon Updated: 18:17 GMT, 29 December 2011 An American company is selling posters of beers, mixers and cocktails in extreme close-up - magnified 1,000 times under a microscope. The drinks are dropped onto lab slides using a pipette, then crystallised in a process lasting three weeks. Sugars and acids in the drinks form the spectacular crystals - each drink looks different, and no two slides are the same. The crystals are created in a laboratory at Florida State University - after a chemist hit on the idea of selling ties with the images to raise money for his lab. Vodka and tonic, magnified 1,000 times under a microscope. A microscopic picture of Irish Pale lager taken in the chemistry department of Florida State University in Tallahassee, Florida Bright: A microscopic look at Sake at Florida State University's chemistry department in Florida It's all done with a normal, visible-light microscope, with a polarised light source passing light through the slide to the microscope.

What a dump! A beach that used to be covered in trash is now covered in sea glass as the waves have turned the garbage into natural art By Meghan Keneally Updated: 03:12 GMT, 9 January 2012 Long before there were recycling bins in every household, the standards for where and how people can deposit their trash were much lower and less regulated. While that was bad the environment in some parts of the country and may well have done years of irreparable damage to the atmosphere, there is one spot where shameful trash deposit practices lead to something rather beautiful. Glass Beach near Fort Bragg in Northern California used to be the spot where residents brought all forms of their trash- from their old cars to their kitchen leftovers- to a dump located on the beach starting in 1949. Meeting of two worlds: Sea glass now covered the surf on Glass Beach in Fort Bragg in Northern California Back to nature: Though the beach used to be the location of a town dump, the glass that was thrown away has been beaten down by the waves so now it is all sea glass Though that was nearly half a century ago, the remnants are still very clear.
