Stefan Diller:
In 1984 I made my first contact with electron microscopy and scientific photography. Whenever possible I exchanged my existing microscopes for better ones. I am now working with a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope made by TESCAN, a MIRA3, which is able to produce 3D imaging on-the-fly. My first glance through my own scanning electron microscope will be unforgettable for me because it opened up a door to an unknown universe of yet unseen aesthetic structures, in their view awesome to behold.
The scientific community and with it every researcher should be committed to sharing the aesthetics of the microworld with as many people as possible. This outreach to non-scientists is essential in helping communicate the importance of basic and applied research to the general public. An appreciation of the contribution of science to their every day lives is essential if the tacit support for funding of our research is to be maintained. In addition, the ability of an individual picture to inspire a child to inquire about a hitherto invisible world is an important first step in establishing future generations of researchers and microscopists. Although, data from scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) is usually shown using grayscale images. Colours can be added using additional detector signals and digital photo editing software. This procedure is widely accepted for communicating results on up-to-date research to newspapers, magazines and TV outside the scientific world and mostly comprise still shots of a specimen.
I am deeply indepted to my following sponsors who make my work possible:
