Glass Microbiology

These meticulous glass models of viruses call to mind the work done in the late 19th century by Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka. Made as artworks, images of the models have found favor with the scientific community for whom the lack of colour along with their great precision is helpful. Despite decades of colourful pictorial representation, virus in fact are as colourless as Jeram's pieces.
