Now imagine this traveling slowly through the urethra. Ouch, therein lies the agony!

Looks like a scanning electron microscope image at 50,000x magnification. I used to operate a JEOL SEM to produce these photos for analysis. Super closeup images like this change our perspective don't they?

@PatKirby They really are awesome. I love looking and mites and stuff under an SEM.
