No no no – this image is clearly from that famous October 1983 issue of the Journal of Abstract Psychomythoanalyitics that generated the controversial “Rainbowgate” scandal. The good Doctors Igor Shalaylee and Eugene Pottergold were engaged in a two-year study of the Diptus Shamrocktum, popularly known as the North American Leprechaun.

This image, from the report, displays the Leprechaun’s point of view from inside the end of the rainbow. The controversy arose, as you will remember, when the subject of their study filed a legal claim against the two doctors, claiming they improperly stole his pot of gold. Catching up in them in the Caymans, Dr. Shalaylee passionately denied any wrong doing and claimed sanctuary in his new yacht.

Obviously, it is a photograph of the absorption of a food particle into the cell lining of a blood vessel using infrared, multi-chromatic x-ray technology – the colors represent the various mineral and chemical elements present.

It’s a corneal mapping image from a corneal topographer. The different colors represent different steepnesses of the cornea. The red areas are steep, the blue/green areas represent flatter portions. The information is used to give the eye doctor information about the shape of the cornea before and after refractive surgery. It can also be an aid in determining the correct contact lenses to use when a patient has a corneal condition such as astigmatism or keratoconus.

Its an albino suffering from jaundice wearing green rimmed glaases and a blue ski mask. An amazing find for psychologists, wondering if someone in the inferior life of an albino would choose such odd fashion ornaments. The psychology apprenice taking the picture forgot to use red-eye reduction and futhermore wooshed some of the picture’s contents around in a do-it-yourself film developing gone wrong. The psycologist was very upset.
