Gold nanoparticles on an ITO surface under a layer of graphene. The structure of the ITO, which is transparent in optical microscopes, is visible in blue. The nanoparticles are clearly visible through the very thin layer of graphene. Sample prepared by Joanna Niedziolka-Jönsson for this article: dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4867167

Surface microstructure of a nickel oxide (NiO) formed during high temperature oxidation of Ni-based superalloy at 1150 C for 100h. It formed on a single crystal Ni-based superalloy that is commonly applied for jet engine turbine blades and vanes working at temperature of 1100-1200 C.

The black plague is caused by the pathogen, Yersinia pestis. It only takes one Yersinia bacterium to cause an infection, which is deadly if not treated promptly. Immune cells (macrophages - purple/teal) were infected with Yersinia pestis (bright green), fixed, critically point dried, sputter coated with platinum, and imaged.

In this SEM image, Organic crystals which have been grown from an inorganic semiconductor substrate. Using the Mirror Detector (MD) in the Verios, we were able to see a large contrast between these materials. This sample is uncoated and imaging was performed in high vacuum mode using a low accelerating voltage to avoid charging artefacts. False colouring was applied using Photoshop.
