The beauty of sand under the microscope (Photos)

Sand under a microscope to see

This is a gem? No, this is the nine different grains of sand.

There is such a scientist, do not want to capture only the eyes are usually the appearance of the sand base. With the power of the microscope, he found that the sand can be as uniform as people imagine - every grain of sand has its own gorgeous personality, every grain of sand is an elegant haven.

This person is 盖瑞格林伯格 (Gary Greenberg). He worked at the University of Hawaii, who is a photographer and film cameraman. 33 years old, he left Los Angeles to study at University College London, biomedical, and doctorate. Later, he began his University of Southern California professor career. There, he invented a new type of high-definition three-dimensional imaging microscope. Over the years, he has been using 3D microscopy to observe this world we take for granted. He found, to a remarkable thing multiplied, - even if the sand is extremely common - can not imagine a glimpse into the strange realm. Now, let us follow Greenberg's 3D microscope, with a graceful taste of sand bar!

In volcanic rocks and coral, surrounded by a small shell middle. Cumulative erosion grinding, so The shell slightly pale, but without losing the hometown of the ocean color - it is a touch of bright blue.

This is sand from Hawaii. Red, yellow, green, Hawaii, Maui to the beach is more gorgeous.

This is sand from Okinawa. A white background, counting the number of species of animals? Shells, sea urchins, corals, foraminifera, single-celled animals ... This is the secrete of hexagonal shells of foraminifera.
