  • X-ray of a Smooth Butterfly Ray (Gymnura micrura).Common English names for this species include: lesser butterfly ray, diamond skate, butterfly ray, short-tailed lesser butterfly ray, and skeete.  The smooth butterfly ray is found in the western and eastern Atlantic Ocean and in the Gulf of Mexico. In the western Atlantic it occurs from Maryland to Brazil. It occurs in the Gulf of Mexico and northern South America to Brazil. It also occurs in the eastern Atlantic off the coasts of Senegal, Gambia, Sierra Leone, Cameroon and Democratic Republic of the Congo.

  • 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.

  • A spinning golf ball is flow tested in a two dimensional fluid flow. The colors relate to different pressures in the fluid. In this case the low-pressure area created by the Magnus effect contributes to the flight of the golf ball by creating lift. The rotating golf ball lift allows the ball to travel further. A high-speed flash at 1/15,000th of a second captures the action.

  • This image is part of a sequence where a man over inflates a balloon until it burst.  The image was taken with a high speed flash system. The motion is effectively frozen in time due to the short duration of the flash (1/20,000 th of a second). The balloon was filled with a few milliliters of water before it was inflated. When the balloon is popped, the gas quickly expands and cools. This cooling converts the water vapor in the balloon into suspended water droplets which can be seen as a cloud.

  • Sand patterns formed from vibrating a square sheet of thin metal. These formations, known as Chladni patterns, occur when fine particles, such as grains of sand or salt, form a unique pattern in response to pure tone vibrations such as musical notes. This sand was placed on a metal plate that was vibrated at different frequency. When the plat is driven at a resonate frequency the sand grains will collect in the nodes. Chladni Oscillations are a standing wave pattern visualized by vibrating a metal plate. The nodes and anti-nodes of the oscillation are made visible my placing sand grains on the plate. This technique for visualizing sound waves was discovered by Ernst Florens Friedrich Chladni (1756 - 1827) also know for his work with the speed of sound.

This freshwater turtle is found in wetlands throughout North America, from southern Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. An adult can have a shell length of around 45 centimeters.  They feed on whatever they can catch in their powerful beaks, including fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and carrion.

  • Chemical waves in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reagent. This is a well-mixed solution of citric acid, potassium bromate and a cerium sulphate catalyst. If the local relative concentrations in the reagent are altered, for example by the impact of a dust particle on the surface, the equilibrium of the reaction is disturbed. The reaction then oscillates between oxidation and reduction. The oscillation propagates through the solution as a concentration front (yellow lines), caused by the dynamic coupling between the propagation rate of the reaction and the rates of diffusion of the reagents. Such chemical waves may be modeled using chaos mathematics.  This image is part of a series.

  • An electrical spark created when a sheet pf photographic film is placed between two high voltage electrodes. Initially, the film builds up a charge on the surface and acts like as a capacitor. At a certain potential voltage the film, which is a dielectric material, breaks down and allows electrons to flow. The flowing electrons superheat the air resulting in an electrical spark which is recorded in the film emulsion. These are often called Lichtenberg Figures after the German physicist Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, who originally discovered and studied them.
