Ok - as to the picture - I like it :) You've done a very plausible
bloodsteam, I can easily pick out all the various cell types, and they're
what I think they'd probably look like if I was a micron in height and still
managed somehow to see in the same light range :>

Your little nano-bot is cute, but not terribly realistic. This might not
matter one whit, and if it doesn't bother you, ignore it :) It doesn't take
away from an otherwise very accurate picture.

To get a feel for what nano-machines 'look' like, I'd suggest you poke
around on the web, especially the 'Foresight Institute'. Then, if you want
to model theoretical designs of actual nano-machines, you'd best get used to
a different type of primitive - blobs :) When your machines are small enough
that a ring of 12 carbon form a bearing, then you can see the atomic 'lumps'
in the structure.

Ok - lecture over :)

A very well done picture over all - the rest is just nit-picking - and only
nit-picking if you're going for realism - if you can claim realism with
machines that havn't been built yet - and not everyone goes for realism in
ray-tracing either.
