Plants and Soil seen with Scanning Electron Microscope
The scanning electron microscope opens up worlds hidden in the smallest of our environment. With microphotography we identify rust fungus, spores, trichomes or visualize the distribution of active substances on plant surfaces. Crop science industry benefits from the depiction of microscopic details of plants, soil components or agents.
Micro Capsule
SEM image of a micro-capsule made of polycaprolactam. These capsules were developed to delay the release of pesticides at the site of action.
Rust Fungus
A big problem in Agriculture are rust fungi. This micro-photograph shows rust fungus in a soybean leaf at 1000times magnification.
Methaldehyde
This image made with the light microscope shows the crystals of Methaldehyde. In Farming metaldehyde is used as an agent against slugs.
Wheat Germ
Germinating wheat grain shown with the scanning electron microscope. Wheat is grown on more farmland than any other food crop, making it essential to the diet of most of the planet's population.
Since we look into the microworld with the eyes of photographers, aesthetics is our highest goal
eye of science can look back on almost three decades of experience in preparation, photography and digitalimaging in scanning electron microscopy. We prepare and photograph samples of chemicals, plants, fungi or plant parasites relevant for harvesting and cultivation using the scanning electron microscope. The goal is the highest possible aesthetic representation while maintaining scientific authenticity. Besides crop and agricultural industry our customers are scientific publishers, chemical and pharmaceutical or the high-tech industry. Via the menu on top you will find examples of our work on electron microscopy, as well as light microscopy and underwater photography, grouped by topic.
