The Beauty and Mystery of the Micro World

Abstract

Gennady Strukov, Galina Strukova and Sergey Vitkalov

Is it a product of a novel computer program or photographs of fine creations of nature? Neither of the statements is true. In fact, these are not art pictures, but real images of metal samples made with an electron microscope.

The size of the samples is from tens of microns to 1-2 millimeters.
