Scimat-Micro

The videos in this SCIMAT-Micro channel are NOT DESTINED FOR KIDS. They show daily life by microscopy.  Milk, rice, lettuce, and spinach have been the first to show under a microscope. There are items around us such as microorganisms, small particles - pollen grains, soil, dust of various origin and also foods which need to be magnified to a great extent by electron microscopy to understand their functions. The author of the images, Canadian scientist Miloš Kaláb colorizes his micrographs for instructive purposes and presents some of them here. Some may also be found in printed form, e.g., in Infocus Magazine of the Royal Microscopical Society or on the internet, e.g., here:  www.magma.ca/~scimat/. Many may be found by searching for “scimat images”. The purpose of this site is to show interesting results of electron microscopy studies of the details in our environment.
