  • Scanning electron microscope image of the lenticular array in the U.S. 100 dollar bill. The lenticular array, or micro-lens, shows a different color when the viewing angle of the bill is changed. This is just one of the security (anti-counterfeit) features of the United States 100 dollar bill, others include: micro-print, watermarks, lenticular images, special inks, fluorescent fibers and strips, colored fibers, and the use of full colored inks.

  • A Scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of a micrometeorite. The width of this image is 400 um. This micrometeorite was ground in half and polished. Micrometeorites routinely fall all over the surface of earth. This is primarily an iron meteorite with small amounts of other elements. This meteorite melted from atmospheric melting as it was captured in the earth’s atmosphere. Magnetic iron micrometeorites are easy to find with the help of a strong magnet. The crystal structure of the meteorite is visible in this image.

  • SEM of a conodont tooth.  Acid etched from 500 million year old rock. Scientists are still unsure how these teeth were placed in most of the species.  Conodonts are extinct chordates resembling small eels maybe the size of the modern earthworm.  Classified in the class Conodonta. For many years, they were known only from tooth-like microfossils now called conodont elements, found in isolation. Knowledge about soft tissues remains relatively sparse. The animals are also called Conodontophora (conodont bearers) to avoid ambiguity.  This specimen was .5 mm wide and was collected in Ohio.

  • Scanning electron microscope image of the mouth parts of a mosquito larva (family Culicidae).  The collection of hairs (light brown) are feeding structures used to filter water. The hairs beat through the water filtering out algae, bacteria and other micro-organisms that the larva feeds on.The calibration bar is 100 um and was take at a magnification of 1,440 x. ..

  • Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the leaf top of a sacred lotus leaf (Nelumbo nucifera).   The structures on the top of the leaf contain micro-structures that repel water droplets better than any other material in nature.  The lotus leaf, an example of a super-hydrophobic plant.  The ability of the leaf to repel water is enhanced by the surface roughness.  The calibration bar is 10 um and the image was collected at a magnification of 7,940 x.
