Elenagt19 > Male O. erosus declivity

Elenagt19 > Another view of the male o. erosus declivity with the spines pointed out.

Elenagt19 > Dorsal view of Orthotomicus erosus.
Auto-Montage

Elenagt19 > Citronella Ant (Yellow Ant) ventral stereo pair.

Elenagt19 > Another one of the antframes this time with a thin black border. I find that the border helps guide the crossed eyes to the opposite frames for quicker superimposition in the mind. This image becomes very sharp if the viewer raises both hands to block the side images of the 3 seen in this technique of crosseyed stereo viewing. The hands should be positioned relatively close to the eyes at the point where the lines of view crossover.

Elenagt19 > Another experiment with crosseyed 3D stereograms of stacked images. This time I incorporated animated zoom. The zoom goes to the eye. Since this is a movie, it is not interactive except that you can advance the frames manually and stop at any point. The automontage photos haven't been cleaned up so there are still some artifacts visible, e.g. the out of focus haze around some edges. Easy to remove but time consuming. Also I made a mistake by delaying the wrong frame for full zoom inspection. Got the penultimate frame on the return loop instead of the highest mag frame. The original movie was over 3000x2000 pixels per frame. At 350MB+ it was way too big for posting. This one had to be downsized tremendously to work on this website. It's about 3MB. Too bad, the big one was sharp as a tack. It was a long night. But it is easy to see that with a lot of careful if tedious work an extremely high resolution and smooth running movie could be made. It is somewhat like the stop action work on Wallace and Gromit but not nearly as difficult. TG

Elenagt19 > This deep UV light emitting diode is being tested in Tony's lab as part of an optical detection module in a new kind of PCR device he is developing. The outer rim is about a quarter inch in diameter. The aluminum gallium nitride diode crystal is the clear cube in the middle of the chip. It is placed to rest on flat gold leads apparently etched from a thin foil on a silicon chip. There are three wire leads (looking like rods in this photo) coming into the casing, one + , one -, and one the ground. The ground wire is connected to the casing with a metal disk-like like flap. One of the lead wires is obscured at 4 o'clock by the rim of the casing. The rim is crimped over a UV transparent glass cover. You can see the machine crimp marks on the rim. This LED produces a suprisingly powerful beam of UV light at about 250nm, the wavelength needed to cause DNA complexed with the dye Ethidium Bromide to glow orange. SET-I has already made us a far more powerful multiple chip LED but this earlier one was more photogenic. We couldn't resist putting it under the Automontage System as a free Christmas card of sorts to our contractors in South Carolina.
