Not to this point, but it's a very interesting idea. Someone else mentioned electron micrograph imagery, which would look incredible.

Okay, that makes sense to a certain degree. Seems what you are doing is innovative enough that it deserves a new category of "map".
Have you considered transfering your methods from the macro to the micro world? If I understand it correctly, you could in principle inverse the zoom factors, like using the elevation model of a coin combined with texture data and a lighting model and printing a much larger version of it on a canvas.
