What is additionally significant to note is that, when you compare the color photograph on the left to the image produced by the scanning electron microscope on the right, you can observe a depth of field simply not possible with conventional photography. So, simple conclusion: while the scanning electron microscope process can easily obtain images with super high magnification, the images which comments stubbornly reference with the lack of magnification involved serve to demonstrate the depth of field and attention to detail the process returns for the object requested; this includes objects observable in the macroscopic world.

Are they actually the same specimen, because they certainly don't look like it! How come the electron scanned version appears to have features that are absent on the colour picture?
