Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Scanning electron microscope
This image illustrates well the capabilities of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). This is a magnification series for a snow crystal, from 93x to 36,000x magnification, using a special low-temperature SEM (LT-SEM) [1] to preserve the crystal. - BRIAN0918 18:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Nominate and support either version. - BRIAN0918 18:19, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I think this would work better if there were only a single column, instead of following the successive magnifications in the current zigzag fashion. I'll fiddle with it later today or tomorrow, unless someone beats me to it. —Korath (Talk) 19:00, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)
- You asked for it and you got it. I actually like this version more, both because the progression is more natural, and because I didn't have to crop each individual pic to make them all the same size (adds about 300px vertically to the image total). The only downside was that I had to compress it slightly more to get below the 2MB mark. -- BRIAN0918 19:37, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- I also created another version with rectangles indicating what part of the image was magnified. It's not 100% accurate, especially in the skewed one and the higher-magnification ones, but it isn't as necessary at those magnifications anyway. -- BRIAN0918 20:17, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Support image with rectangles. Denni☯ 21:22, 2005 Mar 21 (UTC)
- Support columnar version with sub-magnification rectangle highlights. James F. (talk) 23:06, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Support columns with or without rectangles. Holy balls, that's the most intense snowflake I've ever seen. Matthewcieplak 05:10, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
