Many Pathology and Histology images feature mind-blowing shapes and imagery of human cells as seen through microscope, particularly when the cells unintentionally form images and scenes that are as beautiful as any painting hanging in a gallery. These images only prove how much medical science can engage with art in an original and magical way. Many of these images ask the question: Does art imitate life, or does life imitate art?  |

Five beautiful images, captured through the microscope of Maria Lambropoulou, Associate Professor of Histology-Embryology at the Democritus University of Thrace Medical School, are depicted in the commemorative stamp set “Science and art through the microscope” and reveal that the magic of art can be found everywhere. Even in the microscopic images that appear daily before her eyes and create inconceivable shapes and arrangements as they transform clinical medical science into art. And although these may be two incompatible concepts, the result of their interaction can be quite magnificent, particularly through a microscope.  |

Agreed Medical Philately , the magick of art can be found anywhere and everywhere; one just has to stop and take a moment to see it and our stamp collections are no exception ;-) In terms of the Greek stamps issued and their microscope art depicted, I was especially taken by the 2-Euro denominated one with its imagery similar to that of a Lascaux-cave painting; thanks for sharing...
Happy collecting!
