Wow, these images are incredibly creepy, but interesting :)
It looks like the strip of data at the bottom of each photo confused the matching though, I'd be interested to see if it stitched together a little better if those were cropped out of the images.

Cerebellum

"This is the cross-secion of the cow cerebellum. The dark purple stain represents the granular nerve cell layer, and the light pink being the interstitial layer seperated by the purkinje cells."

Bleeding Heart Flower

"It's easy to see the origin of The Old-Fashioned Bleeding Heart's, Dicentra spectabilis, common name when you get a look at its heart-shaped pink or white blooms with a protruding tip at the base of the heart. They grow best in partial to full shade in moist, well-drained soil. Some types bloom only in spring and others bloom spring, summer, and fall, provided temperatures aren't too high."

Stemonitis (Mold)

"Stemonitis is a distinctive genus of slime moulds found throughout the world (except Antarctica). They are characterised by the tall brown sporangia, supported on slender stalks, which grow in clusters on rotting wood. Identification within the genus is difficult, and can only be performed with confidence using a microscope."

"Fucus is a genus of brown alga (seaweed) in the Class Phaeophyceae to be found in the intertidal zones of rocky shores. It is a common genus found on the Atlantic coasts of Europe and North America."

Pretty cool use of photosynth!

Nice work but the motion here appears to be mostly rotating and scaling so if there was depth to that kidney it didn't come through in the point cloud. Reconstructing 3D from SEM images could be tricky. In any case the algorithms compute shape based on object motion, mostly translation in this case. If you can move the subject back and forth under the lens with about 50% overlap between shots you could get a true 3D point cloud. That'd be neat and apparently a photosynth first!

Very cool. Science non-fiction is sometimes just as or more cool than fiction.
