Oh, that's nice. How much did you pay for it? Right. Well, not to rub it in your face or anything, but I've got myself a 5.5-terapixel camera. Tera. Yes, that's bigger than mega, and bigger than giga. Correct, about 1,000,000 times better than your camera. It even has a cute little duck on it. Does yours? No. I thought not. Well, stand still and pose. I'm going take a picture of your soul. [Paradoxoff via Wired via Tech Digest]

However, it actually consists of one picture copied 225 times—that off cancerous breast tissue. As a digital pathology imaging company, one could interpret the image as Aperio flexing their digital muscle while raising awareness for an (obviously) important issue.

The picture is a 144GB .tif (using JPEG compression). And you can zoom online using the link below. Without one big image to play with, the scale of one trillion pixels is still tough to grasp. Let's just dub it a lot of pixel and call it a day. – Mark Wilson
