Nanopictures
Nanotechnology - one of the amazing wonders of science.
Developed in 1986, the scanning tunneling microscope (STM) has bought the micro to the macro. To mark the 25th anniversary of the development of the STM, a competition was held for the best nano pictures. Here are a few of the best. Image 1. This image captured in German labs by Thorsten Dziomba with an STM shows GeSi quantum dots -- a mere 15 nanometers high and 70 nanometers in diameter. Image 2. This E. coli bacterium displays well-preserved flagella that are just 30 nanometers long. This image was taken with an atomic-force microscope. Unlike an STM, the tip of an AFM comes into direct contact with the surface of the sample. The force between the tip (known as "the bend") is calculated by measuring the force exerted on a tiny cantilever. AFMs are so sensitive that they can detect forces as small as a few picoNewton (one trillionth of a Newton) Image 3. An up-close and personal look at 12 bromine atoms, arranged in a circle through molecular self-assembly with an STM. Image 4. This 13 nanometer x 13 nanometer image shows the results of layering diindenoperylene and copper-phthalocyanines on a single gold crystal by molecular beam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_beam_epitaxy. These planar organic molecules exhibit semiconductive properties. The image shows how molecules self-arrange in certain conditions -- information that is vital to scientists attempting to build semiconductors of the future. Image 5.This image shows the surface of human red blood cells after treatment with phyllomelittin, an antibiotic isolated from the skin of the monkey frog.

Well. Don't know what happened to the pictures I uploaded, but not impressed. Will add them on.

Sorry about this, but its just telling me that the file size of the images is too big and not allowing me to upload the images.

I can't get back to the site I got the images from as I came across it by accident and my pc didn't hold the url in memory.  After much searching this was the best I could find with the winners on the front page. Unfortunately I can't open the gallery section as it just comes up with 'page not found'. I think I'm suffering from a severe attack of Murphy's Law at the moment. Again my apologises for not being able to finish the thread.
