Abstract
This short photobook contains micrographs (images recorded with a microscope) that were recorded during the research described in the PhD dissertation "Nanofluidic Liquid-Phase Electron Microscopy of Microtubule Dynamics: development of a next-generation LP-EM system", carried out at the TU Delft and Leiden University.
These images span a wide range of spatial sizes, from the milimeter-scale, where the features in the image would be just about visible by eye, to the nanometer scale, where even a light microscope is not powerful enough to produce an image.
Inside, you will find a wide range of materials, colours, and fabrication processes. When these processes did not yield the desired end products or otherwise failed, it would sometimes result in beautiful images - or landscapes appearing under the microscope. These microscopic landscapes have been compiled together in this short photobook with the intention of bringing this unseen small world to a larger audience.
