A flea as seen under a microscope
Flora & Fauna
This image was created by digitising a negative in the collection provided by Mr. C. Gourishankar's family. The negative was found in an envelope containing photographs of equipment.
This photograph appears to be that of a flea as seen under a microscope. This is an unexplained photo, a mystery, as it appears alongside other photographs in the same album, all of which are solely of equipment and instruments from the Machine Dynamics Laboratory of the Applied Mechanics department.
