In Asimov’s novelization Grant got the white blood cell to follow them along the optic nerve and it appeared as a big pile of super corroded junk when they enlarged. Of course the movie didn’t show all that- probably got edited out for time and pacing.
That was it… but it was from a David Gerrold story, not Asimov. (“The Flying Sorcerers,” if I remember correctly.)..I got hooked on Asimov’s science fiction when I was in college. When I discovered his non-fiction science essays, I enjoyed them even more. Then I started reading his mysteries, and they’re the best of all. Check out his “Black Widowers” collections, and the novels “Murder at the ABA” and “A Whiff of Death.”
