  • The inside of a magnetron removed from a microwave oven.  The magnetron is a device that creates microwave radiation. A magnetron consists of an electron tube surrounded by a magnet. As electrons are released from the heated cathode they are forced to take a spiral path to the anode by the magnetic field, creating microwaves. This magnetron creates a microwave radiation that is the same frequency as a water molecule vibrates.  When water is exposed to just the right frequency, the water molecules will gain kinetic energy and become hotter.

  • Colored scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of a bedbug (Cimex sp.). It has a compound eye (grey) on each side of its head. Antennae protrude on either side of its mouth. The stylet, a piercing mouthpiece (red, center,) is used to suck blood from warm-blood animals, including humans. Bedbugs are generally only active at night, hiding in crevices in walls and furniture and in bedding during the day. Although they do not transmit disease, their saliva can cause itchy swellings on the skin.

  • This image of an electrical discharge was made by placing a block of Lucite in the 6 megavolt (6Mv) electron beam of a linear accelerator. The Lucite gained a tremendous electrical charge when a grounded electrode was placed near it. The current flowing to ground melted the Lucite, leaving a record of the current flow. This fern-like fractal structure is quite common in electricity.

  • A scanning electron microscope image of the football shaped bract of the female  cannabis (Cannabis sativa) flower. The oval bract structure houses the stigma and is responsible for producing seeds when the flower has been pollinated. This bract structure is also the location of the highest concentration of cannabinoid compounds on the plant.  This site is also the location of the highest concentration of THC. There are a number of different types of cell structures called trichomes in this image. The thorn-like trichomes use a physical defense while the circular glandular trichomes use chemical defense. Combined, these defenses keep insects and animals from eating the plant. Each circular glandular trichome is 50 um in diameter in this image. The filed of view of this image is 3 mm wide.

  • The stigma of Cannabis sativa. The stigma is the structure on the female flower that catches the male pollen. The sexual transfer of genetic materials is critical for creating seeds.  This Scanning Electron Microscope image (SEM) has false color applied. The stigma is 1 mm in diameter in this image.
