Seeing beneath the skin
It’s not always easy to find a vein under a patient’s skin, especially if they have a darker complexion. This device, called the VeinViewer, solves that problem with augmented reality.
First, the device scans a patient’s skin using infrared light. By capturing and processing the reflected radiation, it identifies the locations of blood vessels and projects a bright green light onto the surface to highlight the where they are.
The resolution can be set so high that even the valves within veins as small as 0.22mm across can be seen, making finding a site for an injection a little less painful. There’s also promise for its use in the treatment and diagnosis of varicose veins, and aid in transfusions and blood sampling.

Mignola’s Bram Stokers Dracula was better than Coppola’s Bram Stokers Dracula.
And both were better than Bram Stokers Dracula, because the book is dull as all hell.
//THE VAMPIRE CHRONICLES FAMILY TREE
It is finished! Or at least as much as I know.
I tried to be very thorough regarding names and makers. The unknown branch bothers me the most, and if anyone knows where those Vampires started from, please let me know. Also I’m not 100% sure on all of Rhosh’s fledglings, though from a few sources I think that’s all his named ones.
If you would like to correct anything or add anyone canon, PLEASE send me a message, even on anon. The more eyes I can have on this the better.
Of course this is updated through Prince Lestat, so spoilers for character names and makers.
Colors refer to gender, though I’m unsure of Petronia, who is technically a hermaphrodite, and Eleni and Eugenie. Again, please message me for any changes/clarifications!
You can click the images to make them a little clearer/bigger.

But also this [fanart source]:
“Now, listen to me, beautiful one,” she said. “I love you. You’ve awakened me from my long sleep and to my great purpose; it gives me joy merely to look at you, to see the light in your blue eyes, and to hear the sound of your voice. It would wound me beyond your understanding of pain to see you die. But as the stars are my witness, you will aid me in my mission. Or you will be no more than the instrument for the commencement, as Judas was to Christ. And I shall destroy you as Christ destroyed Judas once your usefulness is past.” – Akasha, Queen of the Damned.
