Amazing!

While good, an error is that it is completely opaque when it should be transparent.

Is this a colorized electron image?

Posted by observerjosh about 1 year ago

Yes.

Thanks, I figured. Cool video though!

@biohexx1 @observerjosh This is not a colourised electron micrograph! This is a computer-generated animation. Electron microscopes need the specimen to be placed in a vacuum (otherwise the air molecules will interfere with paths of electrons). While tardigrades may survive in a vacuum, they won't be active. You'll never see movement in an electron micrograph.

Good to know! Thanks!

I thought it was a sequential series of pics.

Ok, thanks for the info! I thought it might have been sequential too, but I want aware it needed a vacuum chamber – makes sense though!
