Students from Y9 worked on a 'Inside Me' project. They explored imagary from scientific slides through a microscope. Students were then asked to record these using a digital camera. Outcomes were used to generate work further into abstracted images, paintings and drawings.
The Titan scanning/transmission electron microscope, also known as the Titan Cubed, is being installed in the Materials Research Institute at the Millenium Science Complex on Penn State's University Park campus. This leading-edge instrument will greatly enhance the capabilities of researchers in the world of science at the nanoscale. Go to www.mri.psu.edu/news/2012/fei_titan/ for more information.
Provisionally I am calling this as Chrysis impressa.
These are some test shots with the new Hi-Chrome Camera and GMZ microscope. I think the new kit will prove immensely useful for identifying these extremely challenging wasps. The series of shots here cover some of the key characters one has to look at. Normally one needs to match five or more out of seven characters to approach confidence in one's determination.
Being able to compare images will make this challenging task a little easier (hopefully).
The exhibit on the history of the microscope was full of gorgeous, intricate instruments that were as much ornament as tool.

Woodinville Whiskey Rye. Approx. 40X I accidentally put a lot on this slide, and it wound up being a happy accident.
My foray into microscope glass slide pendants. My soldering is very rough but I found this addictively fun and made three or four DOZEN pieces, most of which I gave as gifts that year.

40x objective, N.A. 0.65

Ever wonder what a feather looks like under an electron microscope? Here is a shot of a duck feather taken today, the scale bar shows 100 micrometers which is 1x10^-6 meters. This was one of my first times using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and my group helped take these shots, I'm hoping to have a cool shot of a bug face by the end of the week! Slightly different part of a feather below, you can see the scales better.
Some microscope objectives I've worked with, from left:
- Nikon BD Plan 20x/0.40 210/0
- Zeiss Jena 10x/0.20 Planachromat infinity
- Zeiss Jena 6.3/0.12 infinity

An interesting look at everyday things.
I bought a cheap USB powered Microscope and then started exploring. Some of the images were very unexpected so I thought I would post a few.
