Two ways
of seeing.

Electron microscopy and photography both begin with attention: to structure, light, scale, and the brief moment when a pattern becomes visible.

01

Electron microscopy

Seven original micrographs paired with their artistic interpretations.

02

Photography

Observations beyond the laboratory—places, textures, geometry, and light.

Electron microscopy

Science, seen twice.

Each pair places the processed, artistic image alongside the original electron micrograph. Select either image to see it at full resolution.
