Homo (hoe-moe) , human, flat, angular, and moderately large cell. This is a skin cell - almost certainly of the microscopist. Cells are shed freely as slides or other objects are picked up. The lines within the cells are tracts of cytokeratins which give these shapes their distinctive cells. They are dead, so nuclei and other cytoplasmic organelles are usually not visible. From Davis Mine. Phase contrast.
This stamp with image of Greta Garbo collected by Michael Philately. Greta Garbo (18 September 1905 - 15 April 1990) was a Swedish actress primarily known for her work in the United States during Hollywood's silent film period and part of its subsequent Golden Age. Once moving to Hollywood, she appeared in only 27 movies, yet she remains one of the most popular and recognizable Hollywood stars. The MGM marketing ploy "Garbo talks" became a catch-phrase of the 1930s. Her popularity with the Depression-era audiences allowed her to dictate the terms of her contract in 1932, and she became increasingly choosy about her roles. After 1941, she accepted no more roles, and retired to an apartment in New York City
