On Tuesday before break, we talked about different types of microscopes including both the SEM and TEM. While I was with my sisters yesterday, my middle sister was constantly telling the cousins to stop so she could take a picture. It reminded me of you guys and that I am going to have you find your favorite electron microscope images. All you have to do is post the website of your picture, explain what you picked and why. Also I need you to distinguish if your image is from a SEM (3-D image of surface) or TEM (2-D image of inside an object).

Let it snow
As we are in the middle of a blizzard warning, I couldn't help but find a cool SEM image of a snowflake for you to see for this week's blog post. I love the way that sometimes snow lands on my windowsill and I can imagine it looks just like this.

ReplyDeleteThe image I choose is a picture of flower petals. This is a SEM (Scanning Electronic microscope) image. According to the website there are tiny ridges inside the petals. These ridges hold water droplets and the water causes an iridescent shimmer. This new discovery shows that the shimmer can attract pollinators. The reason I love this image is because it reveals a microscopic structure of flowers that I never would have thought about. I also favor this image because it led to new discovery's.

ReplyDeleteI choose to share a picture of salt grains under a SEM microscope because I think it is really amazing that something so simple from our view is so intricate under a microscope. It is also very cool getting to see that there are even smaller pieces that make up such a small grain of salt.

ReplyDeleteThis picture that I chose was a SEM photo of a lemon peel. I choose this image because lemons are a wonderful thing. They are bright, fun, and can always give a little something extra. Plus, their texture and scent is very interesting to me.

Love it!
DeleteThe electron microscope image I chose was an picture captured by a TEM microscope, of a plant cell. This image stood out to me because of all the minute details that you can see in it. The TEM microscope allows you to have the ability to see all the parts of the plant cell very clearly, and this picture demonstrates how effective it is in that way.

Very interesting to be able to connect what we've been learning in class to an actual photo of a plant cell and being able to see the different parts of it.
Deletevery nice explanation!

ReplyDeleteI chose this SEM image of a fruit fly's eyes because I noticed that there were several lumps on the fly's eye. This fascinated me because despite how many times magnified the image is, we still cannot see in great detail every part of the eye. This sentiment alone fascinated me and led me to choose this image.
Cool picture.

ReplyDeleteI chose the image of the different pollen types because it amazed me how different pollen looks like from different plants rather than even a generally familiar exterior. This image is a SEM and I know this because the image is 3 dimensional rather than 2 dimensional like a TEM would be
The image I picked was a TEM image of an Au nanoparticle. I chose this image because it almost looked like an optical illusion when I first looked at it and I thought it was really cool. The website the image is from is:

ReplyDeleteThe image I picked was an image of a single grain of pollen. I thought that this image was cool because I'm allergic to pollen and I never thought that pollen would look the way it did.
The image I have chosen is a SEM image of a phone screen. I was interssted in it because I use my phone everyday and wanted to see what it looked like underneath a microscope.

The image the I chose is a TEM of the Canine Parvovirus which is one of the most dangerous virus in dogs. The reason for this is because in 7th grade I did a project on this virus and it really intrigued me because I am very interested in a veterinarian medical career and since this virus has no cure it is something that perhaps I want to look into in the future.

ReplyDeleteI chose this image because I thought it looked really cool. When I pressed on the image it said that it was a fossil which interested me. It made me ask the questions: what type of fossil was it? and why did it have a raspberry coloring? It had a 30,000 total magnification too.
The image I picked was of red blood cells. The image was captured on a SEM. I chose this image because you get to see lots of details and because the microscope has a high resolution you can really see how each cell looks a little different from the ones surrounding it.

ReplyDeleteThis is a SEM picture of red blood cells. The magnification for this image is x20,000. I picked this image because I think it is cool to see exactly what is inside our bodies.

ReplyDeleteI picked this picture because I love the snow and I love looking at pictures like this. It's so cool to look at objects in different ways.
I chose this image of coral under a SEM microscope. This image intrigued me because I never would have thought that coral would look like this. It is so amazing!

I decided to choose the magnified photo of an eyeball (mouse eyeball). The microscope used to do this was the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). I chose this image because eyes have always fascinated me and the SEM captured all of the miniscule details, which all the more intrigued me.

ReplyDeleteThe image I chose was the eye of a Drosophila fruit fly under a SEM microscope. I decided to choose this image because I was very fascinated as it did not look like an eye at first. I think this image is cool because you wouldn't expect it to look as it does until you see it highly magnified.

ReplyDeletethe image I picked was an SEM image of a embryonic Zebrafish. I chose this image because it looks absolutely terrifying. I don't like fish in general and this image just pushed that fear in further. It also looks like the pokemon Caterpie.
I chose the image of a flu virus under the SEM because I am wondering what is going on in my body or others bodies at a microscopic level and to see what actual viruses that many people have is cool.

ReplyDeleteThe image I chose is the product of a SEM microscope. I chose it for I was drawn to the rainbow of colors. It is an image of a creature called calcareous nannoplankton. The design behind the species portrayed here is that it modifies and protects itself with a calcium shell.
I picked a hydro-thermal worm. It is an SEM image. I chose this because it looked very strange and a little scary. This worm can only be seen under a microscope so I am sure scientists were very surprised to see this after looking at it.

ReplyDeleteI chose this image of a SEM image of a lady bug because I love lady bugs and was curious about what it would look like.

ReplyDeleteI chose a SEM picture of woven silk. This picture seemed interesting to me because of the pattern. I loved seeing the detail. It reminded me of a woven basket and I thought it was a cool photo.
I chose a SEM image of gold particles. I found that gold actually looks like circles with a range of size and shape. I always wondered what gold looks like under a microscope and so that's why I chose gold particles.

ReplyDelete- The image I chose and found, was of a mascara brush under the SEM microscope. I was enticed by the shape and structure of the picture, and it looks like one of the big spiral washing machines that car washes use on a car when it goes through the line. Overall, the 3D image was very interesting to see and this gave me a better understanding of the advancement of detail in images when looking through the SEM microscope.

ReplyDeleteI looked at an SEM image of algae. I thought that this was interesting because I have a fish and in my fish tank before we have to clean it, there's algae build up on the sides of it and I thought that it would be interesting to see this up close.
I picked the image of the surface of a kidney stone. This is an SEM image and i picked it because it looks so cool but also shows the reality of the pain a kidney stone can bring as the surface has many jagged edges.

The image I chose was a SEM image of an Ant. I chose this image because it shows in such detail the ant which is very small and we cant always see these details.

This image is an SEM image. I chose this image because I thought that it was very interesting since each different photo was taken as the temperature was changed to show the difference between the structure of the sea shell. Having this as an SEM image allowed you to see the differences clearly and showed a big change in each photo.

ReplyDeleteThis image would be a SEM(3-D image) of DNA. I chose this picture because we are learning more about DNA right now. I also thought it would be cool to see a close up of something that all things have. DNA could not be seen to the naked eye, this microscope is really great at making something ordinary easy to view.

ReplyDeleteThe image I chose was a SEM image. I picked it because it looked like ice crystals forming off something. I just thought it was very pretty. There were so many different "crystals" and it looked interesting.

I choose the image of the top of an ant's head. I thought this looked cool because you could see a bunch of the tiny details on their head that you couldn't see by just looking at an ant. It looked really weird too because with all of the little hairs and thing on the top of their head it kind of looks like stitches.
