1. Opal

2. Frozen and fractured leaf showing chloroplast

3. Pollen

4. Eucalyptus leaf

5. Frozen and fractured yeast cells

6. Bryzoan Selenaria punctata

7.Secondary electron image of wheat seed.

8. Backscattered electron image of the same sample. Brighter areas indicate distribution of elements of higher mean atomic number.

9. X-ray elemental distribution maps of the Aleurone layer of a wheat seed, showing carbon (red) and potassium (aqua). The distribution of the heavier element, potassium, corresponds with the lighter areas in the backscattered electron image above.
