Image acquired with a Tecnai Spirit Transmission Electron Microscope, 120 kV LaB6 emitter featured with BioTwin lenses, detected by means of a Veleta 2048x2048 wide angle camera. The image was taken on October 20st, 2016 at a magnification of 50000x. The subject is a polystyrene particle synthesized by means of dispersion polymerization in ethanol and dried on a 300 mesh copper grid. The sample also contains Magnetic Magnetite nanoparticles synthesized by thermal decomposition of Iron Pentacarbonyl and dispersed in the Sample.
Something went wrong when trying to fill a large polymer particle with small magnetite ones. Too much energy caused an explosion of a myriad of small magnetic nanoparticles which are now floating in the air, partially hidden by the smoky organic matrix. ¦ Image#1_49
