The images have been arranged in related series. The links here will take you to thumbnail pages for each series. Click on an individual thumbnail image if you wish to see the higher resolution image, along with a short description of that image. We have tried to provide at least the genus and species for each image, as well as a terse caption describing the specimens. These images are in the public domain. Peering into the micro world. A team of University of Michigan researchers has recently created a set of electron microscope images of carbon nanotube structures depicting images of U.S.

Peering into the micro world

President-elect Barack Obama. John Hart, leader of the research team says it wasn't a political statement, but an attempt to draw attention to what is possible these days with nanotechnology, and imaging at the very small scale. I'll take him up on this invitation and share with you some other images of very tiny things in our world. For visualizing the scale, most measurements below are in microns - one micron is a millionth of a meter - human hair is approximately 100 microns thick. (32 photos total) Images of U.S. IMMR.
