Art through Microscopes

Advancing science, as well as art, through microscopy research

Tallahassee: As biochemist Michael Davidson peered at monkey DNA through his microscope two decades ago, he saw more than scientific form and function. He saw art.

He eventually began taking pictures of crystallized substances ranging from vitamins to beer as seen through a microscope. His images have been used for calendars, posters, greeting cards and women's sportswear - but most profitably on neckties. The "Molecular Expressions" ties were such a hit in the 1990s they earned millions for Davidson, the tie company, a charity and Florida State University's National High Magnetic Field Laboratory, where he heads the Optical Microscopy Division. The lab's $1.5 million share provided seed money for microscopy research that continues to advance science - and art Mr. Davidson is one of the most successful of a small but growing band of microscope artists. "These images are going to be out there more in the world."
