| The Paper Project | ||
| This site from Arizona State University chronicles the meeting of modern microscopy with an ancient art – paper making. Follow the links to read about confocal microscopy and a brief history of the microscope, and then take a look at the web gallery images of both confocal and scanning electron microscope images of different kinds of paper at various magnifications. Part of the site is also devoted to the art and techniques of paper making. ( http://lsvl.la.asu.edu/paperproject/index.html ) | ||
