Deep Zoom Image Production & Publishing
SEM and Macro Photography
Thanks to inspiration from Walt Bobrowski, I have worked a this week on trying to get to a point of being able to share very large macro photography and SEM images online for people to review. It’s been a bit of a team effort, starting with Walt’s work and some effort by Jan and AJ at Elia Foundation, with me finishing it off these past few days to a point where I’m happy to share it.
This is becoming a process whereby it will be far easier to let a much wider audience delve into data on any device that they have. It is especially nice to use on a tablet. Here is a close up of a few features on the two demonstration pieces.
The problem is, it will take a HUGE amount of storage, the SEM takes 23.19GB on the server - I cannot host many of these before I start having to pay monthly for a lot more space!
Wow the detail in that SEM image is astounding, so many spheres and rods. I'm curious as to what this is and how it was produced. Thanks for sharing.
Wow these are awesome! So interesting to scroll and zoom around.
I'm seeing several blobs with tails - like music notes - spheres with an extruded (?) bit. I don't recognize the shape or mechanism off the bat.... Wondering if that's part of where all the rods came from?
Knowing that it's a dust sample helps me contextualize a little better. I wonder what ordinary dust looks like under SEM...
