Electron Microscope

I’ve just had a brilliant day playing with an electron microscope. I took a blade of grass in as a representation of the space I’d just mapped. I got some pretty good pictures as you can see below. As there was moisture in the grass, we couldn’t film it in a complete vacuum which is how everyone’s was shot but in a low vacuum which was still pretty close to one compared to normal atmospheric conditions. The reason for having to do that was the moisture was evaporating as I was playing with the microscope and so that grass was essentially decaying. I mainly took photos so that the detail was fairly visible but I was also wanted to see how close I could get before the photo could be of anything and managed to get to 600 times.
