  • Polarized light showing stress in a plastic injected magnifying lens. When photographed through cross-polarized white light some transparent plastics display birefringence effects, according to the pattern of residual stress within the plastic (a result of molding manufacturing). Areas of similar color represent regions under similar degrees of stress.

  • Blood droplet. In forensic science, the pattern created by projected blood is analyzed to determine information about the origin on the body, the weapon used and the number of blows, the relative position of the victim and assailant, and the sequence of events. This is a single drop that fell 20 cm onto a paper surface angled at 45 degrees to the horizontal.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A Sunflower seen in ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The image shows the different patterns on the flower petals that have evolved to attract insects to the flower. These patterns are often called honey guides. This image is part of a series showing the same flower in ultraviolet (UV) radiation and visible light.

  • 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.

  • 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.
