Time for a Close-Up
In this era of selfies, Instagram, and Snapchat, I think you will all be awesome at this next blog post assignment. After learning about the TEM and SEMs, I would like you to find your favorite electron microscope image. For your post, include the url and a brief description of the image and why you chose it. Also, you need to state whether your image is a from a TEM or a SEM.
I chose this snowflake. First of all, I think it is beautiful. Second of all, I am tired of cold and rainy weather....bring on the snow. This is a SEM image.

When I thought about getting an image under TEM I instantly thought of an image that contains organelles, as it is relevant to our reading. The first organelle I thought of was the vacuole. The vacuole is an organelle that stores materials like water, salts, proteins, and carbohydrates. In the image I chose, the cell has multiple distinct vacuoles. Each vacuole is labeled, and this is a TEM image.

ReplyDeleteThis is a photo of a flower bouquet under a SEM microscope. This image really caught my attention when I first saw it because it stood out so much in the image. It almost looks like the bouquet is enlarged so that it stands out more. It is a 3D picture though so it makes sense. Although I am sick of this cold weather, I am much more of a spring and summer kind of person than winter. It has been snowing all day. Cold weather just isn't up my alley, so this flower bouquet gives me some hope that spring will come much sooner than expected.
The image I chose is a SEM picture of a beetle head. I chose the image because it was interesting and weird looking. I like how you can see the little hairs on it and its eyes are so strange. Here's the image, http://epmalab.uoregon.edu/UCB_SEM/images/Scarab.jpg
ReplyDeleteI chose this SEM image of a guitar string because I'm a musician I thought it was interesting to see up close.

http://www.nano.aau.dk/digitalAssets/84/84443_ant.jpg I chose this picture of an ant because i thought it would be cool to see its face close up. Also, i saw this picture of another ant close up but i wasn't sure if it was real or not so i searched for another ant and that's where this one came from. Now i know that the first picture was real and it is a very ugly ant. This is a SEM picture of the ant.
ReplyDeletehttp://image.sciencesource.com/preview/BW7655-SEM-Hollyhock-Pollen.jpg
ReplyDeleteThe image I chose was of a piece of pollen from a Hollyhock plant. I chose this one because the pattern on the pollen is very geometric and orderly, and the colors of the pollen itself are very beautiful. This is an image from an SEM microscope.
This is an image of a base of a bee antenna. I chose this image because itcaptured my attention in a few ways. While scrolling through the images, I found they were all fascinating, but I like how this one is colored. Also anything that has to do with anatomy is really cool to me. This image was taken through an SEM microscope. http://zeiss-microscopy.uberflip.com/h/i/147235516-zeiss-microscopy
ReplyDeletehttp://remf.dartmouth.edu/Blood_cells_SEM/images/01%20Lung2-RedBloodcells-1.jpg
ReplyDeleteThis is a picture of a mouse’s red blood cells. These are the red blood cells inside a blood vessel in the mouse’s lung. It is taken using a SEM microscope so the image looks 3D. You can see that there are many of them and even when magnified they still look small. The photo was taken by a scientist named Louisa Howard. I chose this image because I had searched pictures of blood cells and this was one of the photos that came up, I thought it looked interesting so I looked it up and decided to find out more about it.
This is an image of chocolate under a SEM. I chose this picture of chocolate because I just made chocolate chip cookies and thought it would be interesting to see different ingredients under a microscope. Plus, I just like chocolate.

ReplyDeleteThis is a SEM image of the tardigrade, aka the "water bear". Tardigrades are some of the most resilient animals ever discovered. They can withstand gamma radiation, solar winds, the vacuum of space, pressure six times greater than the oceans deepest trenches, and can go without food or water for THIRTY YEARS. No big deal, though.
This picture is an SEM image. It is of a bacteriophage; a virus that infects bacteria. When the bacteria reproduces, the injected DNA goes with it. These microorganisms were discovered by Frederick W. Twort and the name was coined by Félix d’Hérelle in 1917.

ReplyDeleteI choose an SEM image of a walnut. I was looking around the web and found many interesting images, but didn't know what they were, So, I chose this one because it looks like a giant crowd of people raising their hand.
This picture is a SEM image of a penguin feather. I love penguins and you never really put penguins and feathers together because they can't fly. It's cool to see these feathers up close because ill probably never see a real penguin feather up close. It's cool to me to see every little detail and how there's little feathers that come off the bigger feathers. http://fineartamerica.com/featured/1-penguin-feather-sem-steve-gschmeissner.html
ReplyDeleteThis Is an SEM image of a tarantula. I chose this image because it offers a unique view of this spider and is very interesting. One other cool thing about my image is the eyes look like they're staring at you. I included the whole page so u can see 5 or 6 images of a tarantula under SEM.

ReplyDeleteThe image I chose was a taken by a SEM and is a picture of a wing from a Peacock butterfly. Found in Asia and Europe this butterfly is instantly recognizable due to its unique pattering and stunning eyespots. I love butterflies and wondered what the pattern would look like under such a strong magnification. I was not disappointed.
The picture I chose was a SEM photo of a vinyl record. I chose this image because I love vinyl records and the delicacy and preciseness of the making them so it was interesting to see up close.

The image I chose was an SEM picture of velcro. I chose this because I thought that something that many people use daily would look so cool under a high magnification microscope.

ReplyDeleteThe SEM photo that I chose was of salt and pepper. I picked this image because I thought it was crazy that I never thought about what each grain of salt or pepper would look like. I also chose this image because it looked like something completely different than salt and pepper and I was shocked to find out what it really was.
While I was looking for an image I found this one and thought it was very interesting. It is an SEM image of the material used in football jerseys. I never would have pictured it to look like this close up. I think this image could be better if it was in color, like some other images however it is still fascinating none the less.

ReplyDeleteI chose this SEM image of ant. The image is a close up on half of the ant. The image shows the head, antennas, and half of the thorax. I wanted to do an image of an ant because insects seem so small to us and irrelevant in our daily life, but the SEM can pick up how detailed such a small creature is. Also, sorry the link is so long but the image was very interesting to me!

ReplyDeleteThis picture is a SEM image. It captures pieces of pollen taken using a SEM microscope. I chose this image because I thought the pollen looked interesting with the spikes covering the whole surface.
This is an SEM image on a silver whisker(aka pigs tail). I chose this because I was curious to see what hair looks like under one of these microscopes, but more specifically, animal hair.https://nepp.nasa.gov/Whisker/other_whisker/silver/index.htm
ReplyDeleteThis is a SEM image of a spider. I like this picture because you can see the many eyes and hairs on the spider's legs. http://plaza.ufl.edu/kirbyrat/sem.html

ReplyDeleteThe texture and colors of the SEM image of Ebola really interested me. I chose this because this is a well known disease, and it can be so deadly yet, it is so fascinating. At first glance, I thought it was a nerve or something actually.

ReplyDeleteThis is an image of pollen grains taken by a TEM microscope which I think is a cool picture of a very annoying substance.
I chose a picture of a leaf that was viewed under a SEM. This image shows the vibrant colers of a leaf during the fall and you can also see all of the viens/stems that are instide of the leaf. I chose this image because I thought that it looked really cool. It also stood out compared to the other images that I saw. All the other images were mostly just pictures of bugs or microrganisms.

https://www.google.com/amp/amp.livescience.com/19101-bedbug-microscope-images-album.html?client=safari This is an SEM image of a bed bug.I chose an image of a bed bug called the Cimex lectularius. I chose this because I think it's very interesting to see what the little bugs that live inside our beds look like.
ReplyDeleteImage Link: http://fineartamerica.com/featured/butterfly-wing-scales-sem-power-and-syred.html
ReplyDeleteThis a SEM photo of scales on a butterfly wing. I chose this photo because I remember visiting butterfly houses and having a wonderful time. Our guide would always warn us to not touch the wings, or else we’d remove scales and hinder the butterfly’s flying abilities. I had always wondered what they looked like up close. They are so beautiful from afar, I couldn’t imagine how stunning they’d be up close.
This picture is a SEM image. This image shows a close up of a daisy bud. I picked this image because daisies to the human eye are pretty and delicate but when you see the daisy bud close up it shows its rugged and spiky petals before blooming. http://vakkomgsreekumar.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
ReplyDeleteI chose this image of human embryo at 4 weeks because I thought it was really fascinating getting a close look at one of the stages of human development. This was an SEM image.

This is an SEM image of woven silk. I like it because at first glance I thought it was wicker but it turned out to be something very fine that you can't see the woven nature usually. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/conservation/departments/science/Sci-images/lightbox-LM/SEM-silk.png
ReplyDeleteThis SEM picture is of Graphene Oxide and I thought it looked a lot like the water in an ocean during a storm. http://www.nanocs.com/CarbonImage/MVGRP_SEM_JG102.jpg
ReplyDeletehttp://s1281.photobucket.com/user/Steven_Hein/media/zoea_zpsd51ffad9.jpg.html
ReplyDeleteAs I was looking through the SEM and TEM pictures, I saw this picture of a Crab Zoea face. This is a crustacean larvae that go through a vast number of larval and immature stages before becoming an adult. And then producing eggs and becoming their full adult form. This picture is the first stage of what crabs actually look like, before they grow up. This organism is in its second of three stages. It is at the Zoea level.
The image I chose is a close up of human eyelashes and is an SEM image. After scrolling through a lot of images of insects and animals I found this image and it stood out to me big time. I think it's really cool because I could see where the eyelashes are actually connected to the eye. They were also magnified as green on the image instead of black the way we would normally see them. According to the website the image was magnified 50x.

ReplyDeleteThe picture I picked was hydrated portland cement, I picked this because it caught my interest. I was looking up sem images and one of the things that was reccommed was cement, i’ve never seen cement up close so I was intrigued to find out what it’s going to look like. When I look at the picture I see spikey balls and fuzzy ones attached to flat pieces of material.
The SEM picture I chose was of a snowflake. It’s very interesting to look at because it has different patterns. You are able to see all the little snow particles on the snowflake. Its interesting to see how the snowflake is made up. I have never seen a snowflake up close and it looks very pretty.

ReplyDeleteThis is a picture of silk under a Scanning Electron Microscope. I chose this because it is cool to see in 3D how it is organized and formed. It kind of looks like a tic-tac-toe box. Its woven together and you wouldn't really see that with the naked eye.
The picture I looked up and choose was a picture of cork because I wanted to see what Robert Hooke saw and see why he called them cells. The picture just looks like hollow circles and kind of looks like cells I guess. The picture is an SEM photo.

I chose a SEM image of woven silk for my picture. I chose this because it stood out to me when I was scrolling through the images, and I think it looks really interesting. Its interesting how you can see each individual piece of silk, all woven together. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/conservation/departments/science/Sci-images/lightbox-LM/SEM-silk.png
ReplyDeleteI chose a SEM image of a laniropsis. I chose this because it looked like a monster out of a fiction book and it really caught my eye.
