The Mandelbrot set

 

Produced by Andy Burbanks

The following pictures show the Mandelbrot set at various magnifications. In each successive picture the magnification increases by a factor of five (the width w of the region shown is indicated below each picture). The centre of the picture is the same in each case (c = -0.7454265 + 0.1130090i).

(a) w=4 (b) w=0.8 (c) w=0.16
(d) w=0.032 (e) w=0.0064 (f) w=0.00128
(g) w=0.000256 (h) w=0.0000512 (i) w=0.00001024
In the final picture, a small "copy'' of the whole set is seen, surrounded by tendrils.
