Uses latex beads to enhance sensitivity

This user submitted photo appears to have a fairly distinct outline of a man standing behind them in the smoke.. but is it real? or is it merely an optical illusion..

A high-resolution scanning optical microscopy technique is demonstrated, in which an organic photodetector on a silicon-based scanning probe cantilever scans a sample, simultaneously recording optical and topographic data with submicrometer resolution, while showing no measurable degradation during the scan. Potential applications of the probe include characterization of optoelectronic materials and devices, as well as simultaneous topographic and fluorescence microscopy of biological samples. E...

Ever went to the washroom hundreds of miles up with no floor below? Very cool effect. Would give you that funny feeling in your stomach every time you walked in there!

This is one shocking advertisement that to some may be a little on the disturbing side. With its realistic life like look I would be surprised if it has startled quite a few people by now.
