[Tig] color in microscopy

[Bill Topazio]

Yes, but if "objects in rear view mirror are larger than they appear" is
really true, couldn''t this be true as well?

  Since many of the objects in the images are far smaller than the  
wavelengths of visible light, then the "color" of these objects  
becomes a somewhat meaningless issue. The objects must be considerably  
larger than the wavelengths of the visible spectrum to reflect or  
interact in any way with that light and be perceived as color.


That alone is an awesome thought, objects smaller than  
light....pisser...
