I've never seen such a hi-res view.. The granularity on the surface is amazing.

Incredible Pic, and the scope they used is just as amazing.

Wow! that is amazing... feel like tossing a spud in there wrapped up in al-foil with a touch of garlic butter.

Looks like your looking at a flower petal thru a microscope.
