      Hi, sorry for the late reply, I hope you get this message.

      Most of my samples look pretty magical under the microscope, especially the sparkly ones 🤩 but the most interesting images I’ve seen have been using a technique called scanning electron microscopy. All my samples look interesting under SEM but if you want to look at some amazing colour images on the internet, google “SEM of insects”! I will never look at a ladybird the same way again! 😨
