What do you think?
Looks a lot like M.C. Square's drawings of the molecule structures in Alchemy #9.

This is kickass. I forwarded the link.

Well, call me impressed.

I didn't even know this was in any way possible. Awesome.

this must have used some kind of uber-magnification.

man - when i was at college I argued with a professor that I couldn't believe in atoms based on the fact I'd never actually seen one, so for all I knew they were as believeable and theoretical as bigfoot.
Guess I thought I was being a smart ass.
Hmm....turns out then they actually look exactly like the theoretical drawings. How red is my face now?
all is forgiven chemistry.
