The World LIke You Have NEVER Seen It Before

[mattyj]

Some images i took while in my final year of my Applied Science degree, all of which are Electron Microscope images (for those not in the know, Electron Microscopes bounces electrons off the surface (or thru in the case of TEM) rather than bouncing light off the surface, allowing for MUCH greater magnifications - also explains why all the images are Black & White as there is no light involved to give color)

MOSQUITO - Magnification 200X

MOSQUITO - Magnification 500X

EARWIG FOOT - Magnification 250X

EARWIG ANNTENAE - Magnification 250X

EARWIG PINCERS - Magnification 500X

EARWIG EYE - Magnification 2,000X

Hope you enjoy this view that very few people ever get to see

Any questions im more than happy to answer, i know most of it pretty well after writing a 100 page report on them

only a few more Richo but they arent as clear as the ones i posted...

I only did the one subject with EM and that was for credit points, my degree was Enviro Science/Chemistry, EM is more involved with Physics...would loved to have done more of it tho

thats some wicked photo's. Just in case anyone is interested some people actually breed mozzies (well mozzie larvae - wrigglers) to feed new hatched fish. I know this because i have some siamese fighters (i bred them once).
again awsome pics.

 

[Richo]

So has that degree helped you earn the BIG $$$ dude ?
