Vein of gold
Scanning electron microscope image using secondary electron contrast depicts the perforated surface of a Ni-Mn-Ga film. This film was prepared by DC-magnetron sputter deposition on a single crystalline MgO substrate. The image was colorized in gold. Magnification is 5000x.

Colloidal night
Inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting “Starry Night,” this high-resolution scanning electron microscope image of polystyrene colloids (average diameter of 200 nm) forming a self-assembled monolayer on a silicon-oxide surface is merged with a copy of the print. Magnification is 10.0k. The colloidal arrangement fits the painting print nicely and emphasizes the brush strokes.
