On a business trip to Indiana University our hosts had arranged for us to visit the medical research lab. One of their projects was working with the Visible Human Project where you could explore the inside of the human body using a pointer on a weird gimbal setup to move around.
The images had been taken by freezing a human body and then grinding it down from head to toe, taking a photo after every 1mm.
A much simpler view (Use the sliders or two fingers on a trackpad to move).

There had been a bit of a fuss made about the images because the body was that of an executed murderer who had donated his body to medical research but hadn't been told what might happen to it.
