Woohoo!!!

Things seem to be chang­ing quite fast, and for the (much-)better!
I won the region­als of the Jack Kilby Sci­ence And Tech­nol­ogy Quiz 2008, with my part­ner, Aditya Grover.
My half-yearlies just ended, and they were bet­ter than what most of my half yeal­ries are, I would say. And for some time, I seem to have all the time in my life I could.

One of the tougher ques­tions of the quiz on sat­ur­day, the 18th (which of course we couldn’t answer!)

What is the sig­nif­i­cance of this image in the his­tory of Sci­ence, who took it and what is it? (the first and the last part of the ques­tion is the same)
Hint given to us: It is an X-ray image.
Answer, and a detailed descrip­tion along with as many ques­tions as I remem­ber shall be up soon. Keep check­ing this space for more.

For “Addy“‘s (Yes he’s the Aditya Grover who part­nered me) request on My art part-II. I mod­i­fied the blue to black and this is what came out.

    Another image of the same thing.
    And, I shall ont release the asnwer until I get at least 7 dis­tinct com­ments on this post. Yes, I really want ppl to read it. So go make them read it, com­ment on it, and then I shall give out the answer.

    P.S.:(For Aditya Grover):PLZ do not reveal the answer until I do!

    hmmm looks weird. no idea. its def­i­nitely not a cd, not a face with a hole in it, not some­thing dropped in water, etc. and i’m out of round things to think about.

    :P

    inge­nious, giv­ing the first com­ment on ur post. ;P

    It, was sup­posed to be an X-ray image for God’s sake. At least guess, within the given hints!!!

    Ok! It’s DNA! :D

    I am such a wise guyyyyy after­all!! :)

    Con­grats for win­ning the quiz but the image. Hmm.. that’s ok!

    Hey, I saw the Jack Kilby Quiz Finals too. It was great! You were really good! But this wasn’t the best ques­tion. Undoubt­edly the Gregorian/Julian cal­en­dar was best.

    Okay, so you all got the image.
    @espera:Did you raelly kno that by before?
    @the rest: Nobody yet seems to know who got the first sam­ple of it! muha­haha!!! :D
    Now, of course when you know what the image is, you can get what is to be done. But still try…
