This is a 3D mapping of a human chromosome using coherent x-ray diffraction. This technique accurately maps out very small objects that are too thick for electron microscopy. As a result, we as humans are able to perceive the shape of items much too small for traditional perception. It's all part of understanding and visualizing the parts of the universe that are out of our range.
