Wow! How did you do that?

There should be a service where you can buy custom lampshades that are meticulous scale replicas of your own retina.

ha art: they do look red and tendrilly...

jutta: they do look like lampshades when looking down on one! i should've credited the medical photographer for this. i didn't take this, but i did grow all those nerves though...

i'm guess the bright circle is the iris.

The light circle is your optical nerve; the lines are blood vessels, not nerves. (Source: webvision.med.utah.edu/sretina.html)

Glad your retinas are working OK!

Mammals have silly retinas compared to cephalapods of course...
