Ha! Didn’t cheat, just guessed, based on your profession. I did not really expect something estetically pleasing inside the insides.

BTW New Scientist often have articles about science- and biology- inspired art, but it is behind a paywall.
Also, Lennart Nilsson pioneered “impossible” medical images https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennart_Nilsson
The microphotograph on the left is of Zebrafish retina cells; the photo on the right is of a textile artist’s interpretation of them, it’s called The Fire In Her Eyes.
It’s truly worth a visit to the site, they have an amazing assortment of cell images. The Zebrafish image is from a special section on cell art, and they truly are inspiring in the art sense. I have several pieces planned based on some of the microphotos.
Intracellular structure?

I was amazed by the beauty of those zebrafish cells! What wonder there is to behold.
I haven’t looked yet but it’s either a cell wall ( or membrane ) or a peculiarly appealing throw rug.
Retina?
Go elsewhere or just hover over the link. Ha! Gotcha! Tryin’ to make me learn. I’ll have none of that nonsense!

I would totally be into a throw rug designed after a close-up of a cell.
Abbeycadabra, it’s a quilt, but like you, I could seriously get into a good sized rug like that, it’s beautiful.
I thought they were a layer of triggered, dyed stinging cells from a man-o-war.
