Scan-nom Electron Microscope?
In what would surely classify as a “lab safety infraction”, Carin Alpert put some common foods under an electron microscope in order to view them in a new (electron beam) “light”. At the sub-optical scale, many of our favorite foods become mere crystal lattices or dried plant shells. From left, a coffee bean, red licorice and an Oreo.
Definitely the coolest EM image I’ve seen since the bacteria on a diatom on an amphipod GIF.
(Many more that you’ll want to check out at Colossal)

About

I'm Joe Hanson, Ph.D. biologist and host/writer of PBS Digital Studios' It's Okay To Be Smart. Check out my "Episode Extras" here. There's a lot of amazing science out there. Let's go discover it together.

Joe's science book recommendations, from brains to biology to space to art to physics.

This is an indie blog that takes many hours a week to publish. If you'd like to support It's Okay To Be Smart, please consider even a small donation.
