These photos show the “scooter” (on the left) and “rotator” (on the right). Each micromachine was observed in detail and using motion tracking for 70 seconds at a time over several hours ...

[Ben Krasnow] is upping his SEM game with a new rig to improve image capture (video link) and more easily create animated GIFs and videos. The color scheme of the SEM housing gives away its 80s ...

This in situ tensile and compression module is a deformation device for the scanning electron microscope that fits on the specimen stage like a large specimen. The deformation of the specimens can be ...

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) has revolutionized the realm of microscopic analysis. By delivering astonishingly detailed images of minuscule entities such as insects, bacteria, or even the ...

The fascinatingly diverse detail of a rat’s bronchial epithelial surface. Long, hair-like structures, known as ciliated cells, are important for the bronchi’s self-clearing mechanisms. Large ...

Examples are the widely used JPEG image, MPEG video and MP3 audio formats. The greater the compression, the smaller the file. However, a high image compression loss can be observed in photos ...

This is a scanning electron microscope image of uranium ore from the Oklo natural nuclear reactor. Insets show fissionogenic Cs and Ba hotspots. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Also, the cuttlefish's eyes are very large in proportion to its body and may increase image magnification ... Seen here via a scanning electron microscope, these lines consist of thousands of ...

Here are two more examples of how miniaturization leads to incredibly tiny components. 3D printed microscale lens systems Scanning electron microscope image of the hexagonal lens arrangement. Each ...

Easily overlay and correlate your SEM and optical images so you know exactly where you are and ... In situ stages for tilting, rotation, sample manipulation, electrical probing, tensile or compression ...

Some are so well preserved that scientists have been able to use scanning electron microscope images to piece together their inner anatomy, eyes included, and reconstruct their owners’ view of ...

Lossy compression removes some of a file’s original data in order to reduce the file size. This might mean reducing the numbers of colours in an image or reducing the number of samples in a ...
