Deep Zooms
Page One
Some of my most interesting Mandelbrot images were found using
Fractint 19.2's powerful new deep zooming abilities. These allow
magnifications up to 10^1600, the limit for earlier Fractints and
most other fractal programs being 10^12 or so. The deepest I've gone
is ten to the thirty-something, three times as deep as 10^12...
so far.
As you may know,
these deepzooms run very slowly, evoking memories of the good ol'
days when you looked at your image, selected a place to zoom,
figured out roughly where it was, broke out the pocket calculator
and calculated the coordinates, entered them manually, and then
watched a little scan line crawl slowly across the screen for
eighteen hours. So the images on these pages represent quite a
lot of time and silicon sweat. :-) They include IMHO some of the
best images I've found.
These images are also in the Mandelbrot Set gallery pages; I have
duplicated them here for deepzoom enthusiasts to find them all in
one place.

Metaphase
A cell in the act of dividing.
That I could find this image of a dividing cell in the M-set puts
me in awe of the set. It contains multitudes...
This image is quite a DeepZoom.

This is a DeepZoom.
Jildered
Nobody knows what being jildered really means, but this amazing sapphire
Mandeltwist shows it can't be all bad.
This is an arbitrary precision DeepZoom.

A mini Julia surrounded by stars.
This is a bit of a DeepZoom.
