  • “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.

  • Libyan Desert Glass (sometimes referred to as Egypt or Egyptian Desert Glass) is a rare impact glass, similar to a tektite.  This specimen was found near the Libyan/Egyptian border. It is associated with an ancient meteorite impact, which occurred somewhere in the North African deserts. This specimen is translucent.  The collection of this  Desert Glass is now  prohibited by the Egyptian government.  Recent discoveries show that samples of desert glass were used in the Tutankhamun head dress.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • An image of Cycloseris erosa coral in Long wave UV 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.

  • An image of Pectinia species coral in Long wave UV Light showing green Fluorescence.  This species of coral will glow brightly when illuminated in ultra-violet(UV) light.  Each head of coral is formed by a colony of genetically identical polyps which secrete a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate; this makes them important coral reef builders. 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 Acanthastrea lordhowensis coral in Long wave UV Light showing orange Fluorescence.  This species of coral will glow brightly when illuminated in ultra-violet(UV) light.  Each head of coral is formed by a colony of genetically identical polyps which secrete a hard skeleton of calcium carbonate; this makes them important coral reef builders. It is thought the glow may attract symbiotic algae, or protect the coral from the intense ultraviolet light of the Sun in shallow water.

  • Daffodil flower as seen in UV light. 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.

  • False color scanning electron micrograph of the internal siliceous skeleton of Radiolaria sp. Radiolaria are amoeboid protozoa. Around the skeleton, in a living organism, is an external layer of protoplasm from which radiate numerous pseudopodia, or false feet. Radiolaria are usually marine and planktonic. This specimen was collected in the Mediterranean ocean off the cost of Sicily Italy.Field of view is 95 um.

  • An x-ray of X-ray of Rockweed Seaweed (Ascophyllum nodosum) with false color.  This specimen was collected on the shores of Block Island, Rhode Island in May of 2015.  Ascophyllum nodosum is a large, common brown alga (Phaeophyceae) in the family Fucaceae, being the only species in the genus Ascophyllum. It is seaweed of the northern Atlantic Ocean, also known as rockweed, Norwegian kelp, knotted kelp, knotted wrack or egg wrack. It is common on the north-western coast of Europe and the north-eastern coast of North America.

  • Septarian nodule from Ohio. The name septarian comes from many of the rocks having seven cracks. In these nodules the cracks are filled with calcite. Each specimen is about 5 cm across.

  • 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.
