Some SEM Images
Secondary Electron Images (SE)

Travertine (carbonate) sample from Yellowstone park showing sulfer elemental analyses represented using proportional symbols on two overlapping stage registered SE images. The fields of view reflect the location of several bands of extremophile bacteria.

Pumice sample from Mt St. Helens showing extreme porosity. Seconday image at 10 keV, ~100x

High resolution SE image of Er doped silica spheres. Spheres are approximately 0.5 um in diameter.
