I want an electron microscope. Been saying this ever since I saw my first ever macro shots in the 70s.
Thanks for posting. |

| Besides these great electron micrographs, there are links on that page to some other interesting galleries, such as these X-Rays of Flowers ... |

Those are great. They remind me of a very good friend of mine's work, Nina Farrell. Not x-rays, she uses some colour film method. I keep meaning to go round so she can show me what she does exactly. She did the cover to a recent edition of Dashiell Hammett's 'The Maltese Falcon' which i think is very cool.

| Wow... It's a new standard for me. Any bug macros entered in DPC challenges that don't look like that automatically receive a 1 vote from me. |

| Fascinating. They all look so smooth, like stuffed animals made of microsuede for tiny tots. Have they been photshopped? Denoised? Or is all silent at that level of magnification? |

| I think specimens are prepped for electron microsopy by exposing them to a vapor of metal, which deposits a layer a few atoms thick on the outside which reflects the electrons. I think these have been colorized in Photoshop (or similar); I'm not aware of actual color photos being taken by this method, though it's not an area I've kept up with that much either ... :-( |

They've also got a small gallery of wonderful Lennart Nilsson images of the foetus developing in the womb. I used to have a couple of books by Nilsson. Amazing images.

Fortunately that technique does not require exposing the specimen to a metal vapor! :-) |
