Alphabet made of glands

Joceyln sez, "The annual Olympus BioScapes contest consistently yields amazing microscopic-scapes and this year a bonus: a glandular font, courtesy of Dr. Ma. Ivy Clemente's Glandular structures from Fibroadenoma and Nodular Prostatic Hyperplasia cases. I know what font I'm using on my holiday cards now..."

Specimen: Glandular structures from Fibroadenoma and Nodular Prostatic Hyperplasia cases (Thanks, Jocelyn!)

Previously:

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

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.

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!

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

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

The “B” doesn’t really look like a “B”.

It looks like the face of the baby Jesus though.
