Fuzzy Wuzzy Wasp?! under a Scanning Electron Microscope

Wasps aren’t exactly cuddly creatures, but you’d never know that looking under our Scanning Electron Microscopes.

With its fur and eye magnified, the wasp Aaron Thompson from Nanjing International School submitted to ASPEX may make you reconsider your traditional feelings toward wasps.

ASPEX Corporation performed a manual image analysis of a wasp using the ASPEX Personal SEM eXplorer.



The customer had requested that ASPEX provide images, so reports were prepared using ASPEX Personal Image Print II (PIPTM).

Secondary electron detector (SED) images were collected under high vacuum conditions and 20 KeV. The sample was gold coated to eliminate sample charging.
