- Polycrystalline silicon solar cell. This photovoltaic cell converts light into electrical energy, and is a clean, renewable source of energy. The cell is made from a semiconducting silicon nitride wafer (blue), covered by a grid of electrodes (white), made of silver nanoparticles, which collect the electrical current generated by the wafer. Polycrystalline (multiple crystal) cells are less efficient than monocrystalline (single crystal) cells, but are far cheaper to manufacture. Imaged with light microscopy

During cultivation, the cells have grown together to form this thriving bacterial community. The ability to visualize biofilms in such great detail is an important step in understanding how they form and why, which in turn is important in identifying ways to prevent their formation on catheters, industrial pipes and so on. Imaged using fluorencence light microscopy

Aurora Coasters 4-Pack
€4,49 €17,99
- Bacterial colony, about 0.5 cm across. Two strains of bacteria were treated with special dyes, called fluorescent labels, to emit either yellow or blue light in the fluorescence microscope. Single cells were allowed to grow and multiply and then interact with each other. The yellow strain dominates in the center of the colony but, at the outer part, the blue strain dominates. This is in part due to a toxic substance passed from one strain to the other upon contact

Alveoli Coasters 4-Pack
€4,49 €17,99
- Section through lung alveoli (blue) and red blood cells (red). Gas is exchanged via alveoli in the lungs, where oxygen is taken up by the red blood cells and carbon dioxide released for exhalation out of the body. Red blood cells have a curved (biconcave) surface, which produces a double-lobed shape when seen in vertical cross-section. The image was made using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), in which high-energy electrons are passed through a thin section of tissue and collected on the other side to form an image. The colors are added later, to help visualize the different features

Wiggler Coasters 4-Pack
€4,49 €17,99
- Hairs surrounding the mouth of a mosquito larva. Flattened curved hairs are seen, each with a small comb-like row of spines. The hairs beat through water filtering out algal spores, scattered pollen, bacteria and other micro-organisms on which the larva feeds. The larva swims either through propulsion with its mouth hairs or by jerky movements of its body, and so at this stage of development is known as a "wiggler". Apart from its well-adapted feeding mechanism, the larva possesses a tube through which it breathes at the surface. Imaged with scanning electron microscopy (SEM)

Tangerine Dream Coasters 4-Pack
€4,49 €17,99
- Atoms on the surface of a metal, in the style of Aboriginal art. This highly creative and unique design was made in several steps. First, the material was imaged using field ion microscopy, which shows the arrangement of surface atoms in the form of bright spots. The black and white image was then projected onto canvas and each dot oil-painted by hand. Some artistic license was used in the interpretation. Finally, the resulting painting was turned into a digital image
