  • Scanning electron microscope image of Galium aparine. Common names include, Catchweed, Bedstraw, Sticky Willy, Goose Grass, and Cleavers. This unique plant has seeds covered in burs similar to Velcro. The seeds are dispersed by getting stuck in animals fur. The magnification on this image is 45x and represents an area 2 mm wide on the seed. By photographer Ted Kinsman

  • SEM of Meteorite from the Cretaceous-Tertiary (KT) extinction event, also known as the KT boundary, was a period of massive extinction of species that occurred about 65.5 million years ago. The spheres shown here represent material that was melted from a large meteorite impact. Flung high into the earth's atmosphere, these hot particles rained down, killing most life on the planet. These specimens are from Spain and were photographed at 145x magnification. By photographer Ted Kinsman

  • Scanning electron microscope image of a male luna moths antennae (Actias luna)..The calibration bar is 100um or .1mm. This image was collected at 982x..The luna moth has one of the most sensitive antenna of any insect. The males antenna has the sole purpose of smelling out a female for mating.

  • SEM a Monarch Butterfly Egg (Danaus plexippus). aid on the underside of a common milkweed leaf (Asclepias syriaca). The milkweed plant serves as the primary food source for monarch butterflies as well as a host for the monarch's eggs and larvae. This images was collected at 50x and represents a field of view .5mm wide. By photographer Ted Kinsman

  • False color scanning electron microscope image of a vinyl record. A record is used to store sound. It is produced by a machine with a head which vibrates in time to the sound being recorded. This cuts a groove in the record which varies according to the vibrations. A needle can then reproduce these vibrations as it runs along the groove and these, when amplified, produce the original sound. By photographer Ted Kinsman

  • These pointed scales are also known as dermal teeth. They give the shark's skin the feel of sandpaper. The scales disrupt turbulence over the skin, considerably reducing the drag on the shark as it swims. The reduction in fluid drag allows the shark to swim with less energy. This unique design is duplicated in swimsuits and other surfaces that move through the water. The scale bar is 20 um and the magnification is 321x. This specimen came from a dogfish shark.

  • Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the sting of the common honey bee (Apis mellifera). The tip of the sting is armed with backward sloping barbs which makes it difficult to remove once it is embedded in the skin. It consists of movable chitinous elements into which the poison flows between when it is is injected. Magnification: x405 at 6x7cm size. By photographer Ted Kinsman
