The Master Of The Art Of Diatom Arrangement

"The Diatomist" is a short documentary about Klaus Kemp, master of the Victorian art of diatom arrangement. Diatoms are single cell algae that create jewel-like glass shells around themselves. Microscopists of the Victorian era would arrange them into complex patterns, invisible to the naked eye but spectacular when viewed under magnification.

That looks pretty cool. I'm rather impressed with his dexterity indeed.

I agree with you EE.

I also have to wonder who ever came up with this. Must've gotten some weird looks.
"Hey, guys, check out my new hobby!"
"Hobby?"
"Yeah, I arrange algae now."
"...What?"
