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. |

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: http://gigapan.org/gigapans/25574/ This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take large pictures of very small things.
