La imagen recuerda a los decorativos papeles japoneses. A las nervaduras imposibles de plantas prehistóricas. A un caleidoscopio algo caótico. A un estampado paisley frenético, desgastado por el uso. La imagen, que además de acercando los ojos al microscopio se puede ver en un monitor, es bellísima.

– A team of 14 professionals, including the anatomopathologists Niurka Cerda, Orlo Moya, and Mirko Neumann, work in the Pathological Anatomy service at Hospital Can Misses.
– Their job is to detect irregularities, chaos, and abnormalities in human tissue samples, helping to confirm or rule out suspicions of diseases.
– The samples are received in containers filled with formalin to prevent deterioration, and are then prepared by a team of technicians in the pathology lab.
– The samples are transformed into small translucent paraffin blocks, which are then sliced into thin sections for analysis, using various stains to highlight different structures.
