This is a set of scans of some fruits and vegetables in a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). 

1. Cucumber.
2. Pomegranate.
3. Onion.
4. Tangerine.
5. Starfruit or Carambola.
6. Kiwi (axial slice).
7. Kiwi (sagital slice).
8. Tomato (axial slice).
9. Tomato (sagital slice).

Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a medical imaging technique to acquire images from the human body —vegetables and fruits also =) —, and it is completely harmless (no radiation). If well applied, you can virtually scan any part of the human body. 

Those scans were made, when I was in college, being able to play around with an MRI. Yeah MRIs are fun =)

Three impinging jets of silicone oil rebound without coalescence due to thin-film lubrication between the jets. The motion of the oil replenishes the thin layer of air separating the streams. The same phenomenon keeps droplets from coalescing as well. (Photo credit: BIF Lab, Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics, Virginia Tech) #
