Cylinders of nickel grown by electroforming and after lift-off of the corresponding resist mask. In some cases, the nickel overpassed the resist (muffins), while other cylinders broke at the base (little tarts). The resist has been written with the photolithography technique.

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.

Flakes of raw vermiculite concentrate are micaceous in appearance and contain interlayer water in their structure. When the flakes are heated rapidly at a temperature above 870° C, the water flashes into steam, and the flakes expand into accordion like particles. This process is called exfoliation, or expansion, and the resulting lightweight material is chemically inert, fire resistant, and odorless. In lightweight plaster and concrete, vermiculite provides good thermal insulation. Vermiculite can absorb such liquids as fertilizers, herbicides, and insecticides, which can then be transported as free-flowing solids.

Formation of glandular trichomes on lower leaf surface of a young leaf of basil (Ocimum basilicum). The smaller trichomes with four evident cells have just formed and the cuticles covering their four glandular cells still adhere to the glandular cells. Three of the larger trichomes are more mature and essential oils secreted from the glandular cells of these trichomes have caused the cuticles covering them to separate from the cells and balloon outward, hiding the glandular cap cells below. This unfixed leaf was imaged with an FEI Quanta 200F SEM in environmental mode at Washington State University’s Franceschi Microscopy and Imaging Center. Scale bar = 150 µm.
