It looks like a tissue on self-destruct :-)
Nice image.

Any ideas on how I can get rid of or reduce the speckling in this isosurface?  It seems that the more convoluted the surface is the more speckled it gets.  I have tried playing with the intervals, samples, and max_gradient without much success.  Massive amounts of AA help a little but they don't remove the speckles, just blur them in.  Is there something that I am overlooking?
