Semiconductors and Microfabrication

Photonic grating made from silicon. Pillars are on a 3 micron pitch. Topography scan.
Structures made on polymer using nanoimprint lithography. 100 nm tall structures on a 100 nm pitch. Topography scan in 3D view.
Photoresist on silicon wafer. Topography scan in 3D view

Polymers and Composites

Phase image of silica-polymer composite. Red areas show the hard silica particles and blue areas are the soft polymer matrix. 10 micron scan.
Acrylo-butadiene-styrene (ABS) terpolymer. Topography image.
Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) polymer sheet. The roughness of the sheet was correlated to poor adhesive performance.

Metals, Minerals and Ceramics

Aluminum nitride. Topography scan.

3d-printed titanium-aluminum alloy polished to mirror finish. Ra = 13.6 nm

Polished steel with 9-micron sized diamond polish. Image courtesy of Akasel A/S.

Biology, Biotechnology and Life Science

Human skin cells with keratin filaments. Topography scan.

Extracellular vesicles. Vesicles are 20 - 30 nm tall. Topography scan.
Rose petal. Topography scan.
