10. Christmas Tree

That’s what it makes me think at first glance, but the photo is actually cartilage tissue grown in a lab using bone stem cells. The red are fat deposits, and the green parts are collagen fibers. Photo by Catarina Moura, Dr. Sumseet Mahajan, Dr. Richard Oreffo and Dr. Rahul Tare.

11. The Beetles

12. You’d Never Guess

This is not another picture of organic matter. This is a close-up of the plastic on the hologram of a credit card. Awesome! Photo taken by Steven Simon.
