Who says art and medicine don't mix? These images of deadly diseases are part of a book called Hidden Beauty: Exploring the Aesthetics of Medical Science by Norman Barker and Christine Iacobuzio-Donahue, at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The images were captured using a variety of techniques, including spectral karyotyping, MRI, and scanning electron microscopy.
I find these pictures interesting because the diseases that manifest themselves in our bodies as what we see as "sickness", "ugliness" and possibly even "death" are actually really beautiful at cellular level. The disconnect between the cause and effect is startling.
