🌈Behold my electromagnetic spectrum!🌈
I made the spectrum by pouring 46 bottles of nail polish & fluorescent acrylic paint.💅🎨🖌️

🎨🖌️🧫🧬🦠Smurfette painted with E. coli expressing EGFP (yellow) or small Ultra-Red Fluorescent Protein (cyan).🦠🧬🧫🖌️🎨
The name smURFP is inspired by the purified protein.

🟢💚Gigantic green fluorescent protein aggregates!💚🟢
I dried GFP slowly to remove the liquid. GFP aggregated and remained fluorescent after a year! The worm-like structures are 50-1,000X larger than a human cell!

💎The fluorescence of petroleum inclusions in quartz crystals!💎
💎Petroleum fluoresces yellow-green under UV light. Many inclusions contain gas bubbles.💎
