This is a group of tumor cells from colon cancer x400. I played with the microscope diffuser and filters, then took a photo from the eyepiece lens (with 20D to comply with the challenge rules). I understand how referring to tumors or cancer my be uncomfortable to or creates anxiety with some people; however, this is a reality that I deal with on a daily basis. I hope that I did not cross any boundaries here. Sam Attal

Nice composition and color. I would never have guessed what it was of course, and given the title, I sure hope it's not a family portrait :P (And that there's no curse connected to commenting on it!) What's the magnification?
