FEI and National Geographic partner on film and photo contest
FEI is excited to continue the partnership with National Geographic on an upcoming giant-screen film titled "Mysteries of the Unseen World". This year's contest offers our customers an opportunity to share their images with National Geographic's worldwide audience..
Winners will be announced on www.fei.com in October 2013.

Workflow test at the first thing I could get under the microscope. 10x magnification, stitch of 7 stacked images, all in one, a little more than 600 Pictures. The wing was the worst part and I spend 2 extra hours on them.
My first try at microscopy work. Yes they are a bit soft but I like the colours and patterns of the slides. More of an arty aproach to a very conservative technique I think. Science is beautiful, yes I'm a geek I know.
Micro mollusk (snail) in fluorescent light. The red and orange are algae and cyanobacterias that autofluoresce in red under the ultraviolet light.
cross section: Sparganium stem
common name: burr reed
magnification: 400x

The cells of the single layered epidermis have thickened outer walls and are overlaid with a well-developed cuticle. Numerous stomata are regularly spaced over the epidermal surface.
A narrow outer cortex of several layers of densely packed photosynthetic parenchyma cells is bound on its inner and outer edges by small radially arranged bundles of thick walled sclerenchyma cells.
The large inner cortex consists of a net like aerenchyma, interspaced with large radially arranged air pockets.
Well developed vascular bundles are found at the intersections the aerenchym strands. Because of this arrangement a central vascular stele is absent.
Within each vascular bundle proto and metaxylem are arranged in a V shape with phloem situated in between and above the metaxylem. A protoxylem lacunae is usually formed. The closed vascular bundles are wrapped in a bundle sheath of thick walled sclerenchyma cells. Vascular cambium is absent preventing the formation of secondary tissues.

Our 14 week old kitten was having a walk around the garden today when she chased something that was flying then squeaked and started licking her paw. It was a bee sting. It looked tiny but we got it out with tweezers and of course I had to put it under the microscope!
Taken with a Canon 1100D through a C Baker microscope with a DSLR adapater which slots into the eye piece holder. 6 images stitched together using Photoshop CS2 and tweaked using Fast Stone Image Viewer. Inset image shows the size of the sting in mm
Gram stain of Escherichia coli, a gram negative bacteria. Gram negative bacteria loose the crystal violet color when destained while gram positive bacteria retain the crystal violet color when a mordant, such as iodine is used. The pink color of the gram negative bacteria here is a result of a safranin counter stain after destaining of crystal violet.
The delicate new skin of a freshly molted dragonfly is transparent, and feels funny.
I bet the world feels like a wool sweater on hot showered skin.

Sandia researchers in their laboratory work with new imaging techniques to view cell-level activity with unprecedented detail. Exactly how and why the cell’s defenses fail against some invaders while successfully fending off others has long been a mystery.
The novel super-resolution microscopy technique developed at Sandia is providing new answers to old questions by unveiling never-before-seen detail of the cell membrane. The insights gleaned from the research could open doors to new diagnostics, prevention, and treatment techniques. The research supports Sandia’s biological threat reduction programs and could be expanded to support biofuels research.

Prepared slide of a birds-nest fungus cross section. The blue-green shapes in the center are peridioles which bear spores. They are splashed out of the fungal fruiting body (the red cup shape) by rain drops.
My cheap made-in-china ebay microscope and messy table in the corner of the living room. (did a nice job of cropping out the roll of duct tape)
I do love the substage flash made from a 20$ MS-1 slave flash unit.
Electron microscopy facilities at Brookhaven's Center for Functional Nanomaterials consist of four top-of-the line transmission electron microscopes, two of which are highly specialized instruments capable of extreme levels of resolution, achieved through spherical aberration correction.
