green jolly rancher

 

[destrekor]

macro photography of the surface structure of some material? macro shots of something under a microscope?

 

[legoman666]

stained glass window?

 

[jagec]

Some sort of mineral under cross-polarizers?

I see myself going out into the rain to die, alone.

:beer: for you

material under a microscope is a little too general (i was hoping for "metal under microscope), but you're the closest

the first picture is as-received brass, etched and put under an optical microscope

the second picture is the same brass after a 40% reduction in thickness by rolling, and subsequent recrystallization after about 12 minutes at 400C

 

[Throckmorton]

Wet sand?

 

[n7]

Nice.

yea I was thinking either metal or some type of rock/mineral.
macro photography is definitely something I want to get into more, if I can ever afford the quality lenses.

on an interesting note, highly deformed aluminum will recrystallize at room temperature

I woulda guessed a tennis ball, but oh wells

What camera did you use? What microscope?

I get to take pictures like this as part of my job:

Those are geological samples. I think I may have some biological ones around here somewhere.

Wow would have never guessed brass.

not sure about the camera/microscope.

i can tell you that we did grinding with 320, 400, 800, 1200, and 2400grit SiC followed by a 3um and 1um diamond polish though

what are your two pics of? they look good

 

[zoiks]

I thought it was a close up of your zit.
