  • Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) image of Catnip (Nepeta cataria) (mint family). The field of view of this image is 2mm. Catnip grows throughout North America and is extremely attractive to cats. Tea made from Its leaves and flowering tops has been a folk remedy for bronchitis, colds, diarrhea, fever, chicken pox, colic, headache, and irregular menstruation. It is believed to induce sleep, promote sweating, and alleviate restlessness in children. Nepetalactone present in the leaves acts as a mild sedative and has herbicidal and insect repelling properties.

  • Scanning electron micrograph of human brain cells. Brain cells or nerons are an extensive network of interconnecting dendrites. Cortical Neurons make up the brain's cortex (grey matter). The cerebral cortex is a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It covers the cerebrum and cerebellum, and is divided into left and right hemispheres. The cerebral cortex plays a key role in memory, attention, perceptual awareness, thought, language, and consciousness. Magnification x400 at 12 cm wide.

  • Fragment of an Abalone shell; color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a section through an abalone (Haliotis sp.) shell. The shell is composed of layers of overlapping platelets of calcium carbonate crystals, or aragonite,  Between the layers are thin sheets of protein (not seen). This structure makes the shell much stronger than the materials would be in any other arrangement.  Abalones are edible mollusks found in warm seas. The thin layers of shell reflect light using the wave nature of light.  Each thin layer reflects a particular wavelength – together the layers reflect wavelengths of light that constructively interfere to create bright greens and blues. Magnification: x1000 when printed at 10 cm wide.

  • Jumping spider. Color enhanced scanning electron microscope  (SEM) image of  a jumping spider (Myrmarachne formicaria). Jumping spiders stalk their prey before leaping on it from a few centimeters away. Spiders of the Myrmarachne genus look very similar to, and mimic, ants. Four eyes are seen on its head. The large chelicerae (at lower center) are pincers that are used to tear up its food. Either side of these are the two palps, sensory structures for feeling and manipulation. This is a male spider which has larger fangs. Magnification: x34 when printed 10 cm wide.

  • SEM of Human bone. This image shows the cancellous (spongy) bone of the human shin. Bone tissue is either compact or cancellous. Compact bone usually makes up the exterior of the bone, while cancellous bone is found in the interior. Cancellous bone is characterised by a honeycomb arrangement of trabeculae. These structures help to provide support and strength. The spaces within this tissue normally contain bone marrow, a blood forming substance.  Magnification is x50 when printed 10 cm wide.
