Groovy Picture

In commemoration of the Grammys.

This photo shows a colorized scanning electron microscope image of a phonograph needle in the groove of a vinyl record. The texture inscribed along the walls of the spiral groove replicates the soundwaves as they were recorded.

This Replican-100 is pretty impressive on SPU Royal G mkII cart. One of the most complicated profiles in the history.

That was made by stop action photography of static placement of the needle in the groove. It is an animation.
