- Description
-
This image is made up of 25 pictures taken using a scanning electron microscope. This is a small piece of driftwood from the Northern Californian coast. The segment we imaged is of the very center of the wood and you can see this by looking at how the structures seems to radiate from the middle of the gigapan. The driftwood is magnified 300x.
Thomas Beer, a German PhD student in Biology, believes that the large holes are not due to water damage, but rather, were used by the plant as channels to move water through.
This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take high resolution images of very small things.

Very different from what I believe to be wood! Nano gives it a new look :)
