Wired.com has a great collection of images of microscope photography. One of the most exciting aspects of being a biologist is being able to look into the world of tiny things and marvel at their complexity and detail. I think images like these will spark an interest in science in anyone and maybe even the desire to find out more about the object being photographed. Photos are one of the major ways that people relate with one another and share their experiences. It is a great way for scientists to share their work with non-scientists and generate excitement and curiosity.
