Coolness: Electron Micograph Art

I don’t remember where I found this, but it’s really amazing. The 2005
conference on electron/ion microscopy gave awards for the best bizarre or art-like images produced using electron or ion microscopy. The images range from beautiful,
like the C60 crystalline lattice to the right, to extremely bizzare like the nano-meter scale toilet image to the left.

    You may have read this.
    I quote myself:

    Ah yes, you see many beautiful/bizarre things when you do micro/nano-scale viewing or fabrication.
    Technically, the dynamic electron mirror was most interesting IMO. It reminds me of material imaging where you excite a localized surface wave (with a laser for example) and read of the response (perhaps with another light source), kicking the material to learn about it from its response. Cool tricks!

    But the description of “the toilet” as a ‘collection site’ for defects is really neat. 😛
    Indeed, it looks like a defect via structure to me (connecting down to stripe conductors or gates). In any case it illustrates how things can go down the toliet anywhere.
