  • Thin film interference on soap film. Bands of color are created by white light shining on a film of soap. Some of the light reflects off the surface of the film, while the rest of the light travels through the film and reflects off the back of the film. The colors are caused by light waves interfering with each other in a process called optical interference. The different colors are caused by different thickness of the soap film.

  • 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.

  • The quartz crystal optical wedge is a simple technique to aid in specimen identification by inducing a color gradient in a polarizing microscope. The wedge is made from a crystalline block of quartz cut into a wedge angle so that the optical axis of the quartz is oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the edge of the birefringent crystal. A typical quartz wedge is useful for measurements of petrographic specimens (rock and mineral thin sections) or other birefringent materials. The quartz wedge compensator is also employed for the determining the direction of anisotropy (crystalline fast and slow axes orientation) in birefringent specimens.

  • Needle playing a record. Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the needle (stylus) of a record player in a groove on a record. A record is used to store sound. It is produced by a machine with a head which vibrates in time to the sound being recorded. This cuts a groove in the record which varies according to the vibrations. A needle can then reproduce these vibrations as it runs along the groove and these, when amplified, produce the original sound.  This is a stereo record.  The needle in contact with the record is a LP needle, or a long play needle designed for stero use.  The spair needle pointing up is a 78 RMP needle - not the different angles.  This record is designed for 45 RPM.

  • This mineral produces a strong yellow color when exposed to long wave ultraviolet (UV) light. Wernerite is a variation of scapolite.  Collected in Grenville Québec, Canada.  Wernerite is considered one of the strongest fluorescent minerals in the long wave.  This mineral was named in the early 1800's by Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) who was a well known professor of mineralogy in German mineralogy professor.

  • SEM of Reindeer Lichen (Cladonia rangiferina); color enhanced scanning electron micrograph (SEM). A lichen is a symbiosis between a fungus and an alga. The fungus provides the structural support for the lichen partnership, while the alga provides food by photosynthesis.  Cladonia lichen are classified as fruticose due to their tall erect structures.  Like all lichens, the ones in this photograph grow very slowly: only a few millimeters in a year.  The calibration bar is 100 um and the magnification was .52 x

  • False color scanning electron microscope image of an uncut natural diamond.  Diamond is one of the crystal forms of pure carbon and is element 6 on the periodic table. Diamond is the hardest material known to science.  The magnification is 200x and the calibration bar is 200 um in length.

  • A close up of the seed leaf or cotyledon of a cannabis plant. Imaged with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The surface of the cotyledon. The cotyledon is the scientific name for the fist two leaves the plant makes. In reality, these two leaves are actually folded up inside the seed, so this structure is often called the seed leaves. It is important that the seeding gets these leaves unfolded and oriented correctly quickly to start photosynthesis and start False color has been applied. The marijuana plant produces tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active component of cannabis when used as a drug. The filed of view in this image is 1.2 mm wide.

  • A false color SEM image of a Calcium oxalate crystal.  Even a small dose of calcium oxalate is enough to cause intense sensations of burning in the mouth and throat.  Commonly found in popular houseplants, such as Dumbcane, the crystals effects or symptoms may last for a week or more, making calcium oxalate crystals a non-desirable ingredient in medicinal cannabis.  It is surprising that calcium oxalate is rarely discussed in literature about medical marijuana (cannabis).  There crystals are fairly common in plants, as they make it hard for grazing animals to eat the plant. Image is 70 um wide.
