Zoom into the Bloodstream

Zoom into the Bloodstream from the human body transitioning into the heart, arteries, to blood cells, to the hemoglobin inside, to the oxygen molecules carried through out the body. Awarded First Place in the Illustration category of the 2008 National Science Foundation (NSF) and Science’s International Science and Engineering Visualization Challenge.

As part of a Nanoscale Science Project, the primary message of these illustrations is that things are made of atoms.
