NGL that gif is fucking amazing, violin or not. Where do you find such wondrous things?

Oh ok. You just randomly found that specific one? As a petapixel browser, would you happen to know where to find more of the same? I think I need a serious electron microscope zoom in fix after this.
They're not gifs, but here's a bunch of interesting SEM images from one of the manufacturers of these microscopes.

NOT GOOD ENOUGH! I command you to search for gifs!
Searched only for "electron microscope zoom", it was like the 10th result. It seems like there isn't a lot of gif like this, as you have to create a lot of images one by one.
That's what scripts are for.
I command you to write the script for me!
Mostly not because of the violin. Just to be clear.
