Hi Cam,

A former associate, Alenka Lovy-Wheeler did a very interesting thing
with her microscopy and let the microscopy BE the music. I don't recall
exactly what she did, but she was looking at streaming and particle
movements in the growing Lily pollen tube tip and I think she used the
rate data for various classes of particles and (with some
scaling/massaging of the data, I assume) put it into a WAV file and
played it as the soundtrack along with the movie of the growing tip at a
seminar. It was a very different way to "see" the data....
