I've always liked the appearance of microscopic things. Their depictions on pens could be appreciated for their designs and actually represent something real like - blood cells, pathogenic bacteria and viruses (how about an Ebola virus decorationg your pen :unsure: ), plant cell walls, pollen, crystals, etc. Weird and unlikely idea for pens, but I thought it might be cool to some.

Hi Jeen,

 

Maybe something for a new series of LE pens, when the manufacturers run out of the usual subjects :D. I've got another one: microchip designs :D.

 

Warm regards, Wim

I've always thought that the pattern 'paisley' resembled a group of paramecia :lol:

 

But seriously......

 

Yes, there is beauty in small things. :)

 

 

The symmetrical structures of the icosahedral---20-sided :o ---- viruses (poliovirus, adenoviruses, HIV, etc) is something to marvel at.... and doesn't this little herpesvirus look pretty:

Crystalline structures give ample inspiration for pattern designs as well:

Hi Maja,

 

Thanks for posting those images. Those are great examples of microscopic "designs"!

A pen with hundreds of flesh eating bacteria would be cool to look at and quite meaningful to someone in the health field for example. That crystalline structure would be cool to a chemist or geologist.

 

Regards,

Jeen

I think that Pelikan already did the microchip design on one of their pens. Maybe the science & technology series???

I have a very visual memory so if I have seen something I can recall it pretty well. Just don't ask about the names!

 

I find that even if I am reading I remember it as a group of scenes rather than passages. And in some occsions I can remember locations of charts and pictures by "opening the book up in my mind" Not 100% but sometimes. :rolleyes:

Have you seen the stuffed ones at http://giantmicrobes.com/calamities/ebola.html?

 

I have the Ebola, the Flesh-Eating Bacteria, and the Cold microbes at my work at desk. I use them as indicators of how closely anyone should approach me while I'm working on a project.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
