Lookiong for photos

[Hormigaquatica]

Im hunting for some good pictures of Euphyllia sp and/or Tubastrea sp nematocyst, preferably actual photos as opposed to drawings/illustrations. Im not sure really what sources I could be hunting through to find some. Any help would be much appreciated.

what do you want them for?

Same question. I have plenty Euphyllia shots.

heh... tattoo design looking specifically for the nematocyst itself... Ive got a ton of Euphyllia shots to, but nothing quite as microscopic as Im wanting. Just trying to go for accuracy...lol...

Hello!

Is this kind of close will be ok, or do you need something closer?

will be glad to help if you need some more.

 

[Hormigaquatica]

Very nice shots, especially of the Tubastrea.
Im thinking Microscopic though... down to the cellular level to see the actual stinging mechanism.

 

[kactusficus]

ohoho, yes I see... well, don't have the equipment matching a microscope, sorry, can't help!

good luck in oyur researches! (I'm curious to see how will be the big picture with a nematocyst involved, in a tatto!! Do you have a website with your designs? or maybe you're not the tatoo maker... but the receiver?! Nice idea!!!! Hope you'll put some photo of your design whenit'll be done!)

Ill be the receiver if things go well... I cant design for nothing...

I actually want to get the pic in my avatar as half of a back piece, but cant afford a project quite that large at the moment. Im looking to do a nematocyst on my arm in the mean time; not sure I can give a good explination of Why..lol If I do find a shot I want to use, Ill be sure to post the work on here.
