EYE SIGHT TO BEHOLD: Iris like planet's surface
by MIRANDA PRYNNE
THESE photographs reveal the intricate patterns hidden in all our
eyeballs. They show the complex structure of the iris - the coloured
circle around the pupil.
The iris was named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow to represent
its many colours. The pictures were taken by amateur snapper Suren
Manvelyan who used pals as models - but refused to reveal the secret
of his beautiful snaps.
He said: "The process of taking these pictures remains my secret."
The 36-year-old Armenian started experimenting with film at 16.
He added: "Every day we see hundreds of eyes but do not even suspect
they have such structure - like the surfaces of unknown planets.
"I wasn't aware they are of such complicated appearance."
