spacer This is 70 images of the heads side of a penny magnified 300x using the SEM. This penny was made in 1978 and so has carried that word for longer than I've been alive.

spacer This is my second attempt at doing a micro-gigapan using an optical microscope and a computer controlled xyz stage. I think the magnification is near 200x. I managed to reduce the vignetting considerably, though it is still somewhat apparent in the unfocused background.

Compare the optical to the scanning electron microscope image:

This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take large pictures of very small things.
