A beautiful object reproducing pathogenic bacteria and viruses with glass "Glass Microbiology"

There is no color in the virus itself, but misunderstanding sometimes occurs because coloring is given for easy viewing in television and magazines. So the artistsLuke JerramMr. Plan made a colorless transparent project, making a model of sophisticated virus made of glass. It is a revolutionary point that the glass is actually made by handmade by glass craftsmen, expressing the virus without using "color", and photographs are also used in medical journals and textbooks.
