 High-resolution
Z-contrast image of a gold nanoparticle in a liquid
(hexane) imaged using fluid cell STEM. The blurred areas are caused by CdSe
nanoparticle rapidly moving in the liquid during the recording of the image.

 Color-coded
Z-contrast image of a gold nanorod in water after precipitation of
calcite from amorphous calcium carbonate. Calcite nanocrystals have
formed at the tips of the nanrod.

 Bright-field
TEM image of aragonite precipitated from a supersaturated solution of
calcium and carbonate ions in the presence of ethanol.

 A spicule formed
during the juvenile stage of coral growth imaged by SEM. |
 A coccolithophore of
the calcifying algae Rhabdosphaera clavigera imaged by SEM.

 Calcium carbonate
precipiated in the presence of the polymer PMMA imaged by SEM.

of the scallop Pekten maximus
after mild etching to visualise the layered structure formed by
calcite nanocrystals.
