Used Dental Floss

In class this week, we learned about different types of microscopes.  Your blog assignment this week is easy.  All you have to do is find an SEM or TEM image that you think is cool.  Below is an awesome SEM image of used dental floss and a human tooth.


Seems to me that the tooth below could use a little more dental floss.....



In your post, tell what the image is and then paste the URL.  Try not to have any repeats.

I found a bunch of cool images at these sites.  Let me know if you can find any others.

      I think the picture of the Ebola virus is really weird and cool, I wonder if scientist can learn anything from this close up picture.

      I thought this was a very strange image and I was wondering how serious the ebola virus still is.

    This is a picture of a grain of salt under a SEM microscope. What was surprising to me was how the shape of the grain of salt appeared in a square like shape instead of circle or sphere. Also, the texture looks rough instead of smooth, unlike how a grain of salt appears to the naked eye. This is a really cool picture of something that appears so plain to the naked eye, but really has a lot of unique qualities when you take a more in depth look at it.

    I looked for something that we use everyday, that was not used above, and we might over look the detail of it. Lots of images came up but I know we can all say that we have seen the graphite in a pencil. In this SEM you can see the detail of the graphite in a mechanical pencil's lead.
