Drinks Under the ‘Scope


Rum

Have you ever wondered what your favorite liquor, cocktail or beer would look like if you looked at it through an optical microscope? No? Well maybe you would if you knew that the image above is rum!

This amazing site has several photo galleries filled with:

“full color photomicrographs (photographs taken through a microscope) and digital images selected from our many image collections”.

You can order calendars, download screensavers or learn about the science behind the photos. It is a pretty amazing site and you (okay, I…) can spend hours looking through the galleries. Check out the following links and then go exploring on your own!

Beershots, including: an Anchor Christmas Ale and Victoria Bitter.
Cocktails, including: Rum, Scotch, the Sidecar, and the White Russian.
Softdrinks, Wines, And finally, the Brain. Thank heavens there are no “before and after cocktail” photos!

There are many more galleries and photos within the named galleries. I encourage you to take a look and see if you can find a favorite.
