  • 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.

  • A Sunflower seen in one form of simulated “bee vision” or insect vision. Since many insects have vision that ranges from the yellow to the ultraviolet part of the spectrum, this image has been adjusted to have the areas of highest reflectivity in the green part of the spectrum. This sunflower image shows the different patterns on the flower petals as perceived by insects that can see well into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. These special patterns that have evolved to attract insects to the flower are called honey guides. This image is part of a series showing the same flower in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, visible light, insect vision, and simulated bee vision.

  • This is a demonstration used to show the principle of heat of compression.  This is the physical process that makes Diesel engines possible.   To work the demonstration, a small sample of cotton is placed in the chamber.  The plunger is then forced down and held in place with considerable force.  The air in the chamber is forced into a very small volume, thus heating the air above the flash temperature of the Cotton.  The same process take place in a Diesel engine, but the fuel is oil.  The Diesel engine is much more efficient that a gasoline engine.  This image is part of a sequence showing the chamber before and after ignition..

  • 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.

  • “Yooperlite” is the common name for syenite rich in fluorescent sodalite. These specimens of fluorescent sodalite were recently discovered Michigan.<br />
The specimen was illuminated with shortwave ultraviolet light (UV) that cannot be detected with the camera used for this image. The tissues in the plant absorbed the UV light and fluoresced in the visible spectrum. This technique is called ultraviolet light induced visible light fluorescence (UVIVLF) and is often used in biology to detect unique compounds in samples. This image is part of a series.

  • A Sunflower seen in simulated insect vision. In this image the UV reflectivity from the flower has been added to a normal human vision image to create one interpretation of what an insect might see. The image shows the different patterns on the flower petals as perceived by insects that can see well into the ultraviolet region of the spectrum. These special patterns that have evolved to attract insects to the flower are called honey guides. This image is part of a series showing the same flower in ultraviolet (UV) radiation, visible light, insect vision, and simulated bee vision.

  • Apheloria virginiensis is a large North American millipede. It is known to secrete cyanide compounds as a defense. It is recommended that one wash hands after handling this organism as the toxic compounds it secretes are poisonous and can cause extreme irritation if rubbed in the eyes. This image is part of a set showing the millipede in white light an din ultraviolet (UV) light. Why this animal is fluorescent under UV light is unknown.

  • A species of glow in the dark mushroom, Panellus stipticus. This naturally occurring bio-luminescent mushroom is common in New England forests in the fall. This species lives on partially decayed oak and uses a unique chemical reaction to digest chemicals in the oak that are toxic to other fungi. Part of a series showing the mushroom in visible and bio-luminescent light.

  • Marshmallows are placed in a vacuum chamber and the air is removed.  As the air is removed the pressure drops causing the air trapped in the marshmallows to expand.  The trapped air expands to many the original volume and the marshmallows grows in size.  This image is part of a series taken at different vacuum pressures.

  • Thermophilic bacteria (blue). Collected in the summer of 2012 in 90C water in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA.  This scanning electron micrograh (SEM) was shot at 19,000X magnification and the filed of view is 1.5 um.  This type of bacteria is adapted to thrive at high water temperatures and is currently the focus of biological researchers.   Bacteria that can live in these extreme conditions are called thermophiles or extremophiles. This sample came from the hottest part of the springs.  The hotter the temperature the small smaller the bacteria typically.

  • An image of Caulastrea Curata coral in white light.  This species of coral will glow brightly when illuminated in ultra-violet(UV) light.  It is thought the glow may attract symbiotic algae, or protect the coral from the intense ultraviolet light of the Sun in shallow water. This image is part of a series showing the identical specimen in white light and UV light.

  • An image of Cycloseris erosa coral in white Light showing green Fluorescence.  This species of coral will glow brightly when illuminated in ultra-violet(UV) light.  Corals in the genus Cycloseris are mostly solitary and free living, some attaining 10 centimetres in diameter. The discs are either round or oval and the central mouth, which is surrounded by tentacles, may be a slit. The polyp sits in a calcareous cup, the corallite, and only extends its tentacles to feed at night. It is thought the glow may attract symbiotic algae, or protect the coral from the intense ultraviolet light of the Sun in shallow water. This image is part of a series showing the identical specimen in white light and UV light.
