The Mandelbrot set and Julia Sets

The boundary of the Mandelbrot set

Misiurewicz points are interesting for another reason.
Tan-Lei proved that for every Misiurewicz point c of the Mandelbrot set, a magnified region around c looks like an appropriately magnified region around c in the Julia set Jc.
As the magnification increases, the regions of the Mandelbrot set and the Julia set look more and more similar.
So detailed pictures of infinitely many Julia sets are encoded in the boundary of the Mandelbrot set.
The top left picture shows a part of the Mandelbrot set with a Misiurewicz point c indicated.
Top right is the Julia set Jc with the same point c indicated.
The bottom picures are magnifications of the Mandelbrot set (left) and the Julia set Jc about the point c.
