Among the most fascinating images you'll ever
see are those produced by scanning electron microscopes or "SEMs". These complex
instruments are capable of magnification and resolution far beyond that of
optical microscopes, and the images they produce give you entirely different,
amazing, and often very surprising views of even the most ordinary everyday
things. The addition of the third dimension to SEM views makes them even
more spectacular, since you can actually see the spatial relationships in the
images that you could only imagine in "flat" two-dimensional images. The
3-D images created by Dee Breger with a scanning electron micro-scope (her
electronic "looking glass") for this book cover a wide range of subjects, from
the most common household items that you use every day to some very unusual
scientific specimens. Along with each of the 30 3-D images (which are
viewed with tehe included red-blue 3-D glasses) in this book, a 2-D image of the
same view is shown so you can compare the two and see for yourself the
difference the third dimension makes when you look at these SEM
images.
