GALLERY

The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides us with an intimate view of the microscopic world. The remarkably crisp, clear, three-dimensional quality of SEM images results from a process in which a beam of electrons shoots down through a stack of electromagnetic lenses onto a sample held in a chamber below. Electrons given off by the impact are processed to recreate the sample's image in black and white; color and other graphics techniques can be added later. All images are protected by copyright and may not be used for any purpose except by written permission from Dee Breger.
