So, does one add hormones to get a bold font?

Spent quite a few years of my life looking at this stuff. Years away from the scope, I still think it looks pretty, and wish I could up the magnification. The "O" is an old friend.

Thankfully it's not an alphabet made up of glans.

The "B" doesn't really look like a "B".

It looks like the face of the baby Jesus though.

Thanks for posting my photo on Boing Boing! I actually have a very interesting series of photos along this theme which I would share if you think it was worth it to show the world through your blog.

@mypalmike- the letter I had the most problem looking for was B & the Q that's why of you've noticed I had to settle for what's in that collage.I did find a better looking "B but it didn't make the deadline for Olympus.

Although just to inform everyone, I had to look at close to 200 slides before I finished this project but yeah pretty much finished it in 3 days! (I love my slides). Again thanks for posting!
