Photographic Gallery

INDEX BY CATEGORY For even more information and photographs please go to microlabgallery.com (click here). This photogallery is still growing with time. It's purpose is two fold. It's for the pleasure of the viewer and for the use of those interested in learning how to identify and interpret the significance of particles in the environment. By clicking on the photograph a higher resolusion image can be viewed with a more detailed description and interpretation. For images of Specific PARTICLES BY NAME click here. - Back to Home page How to Identify Particles Just For Fun Abrasives      Aluminum Oxide (Emery, Corundum)      Diamond      Garnet      Pumice      Quartz      Silicon Carbide      Slag Agglomerates      Cleaning Agglomerates      HVAC System Agglomerates      Remodeling Agglomerates      Wet Road Agglomerates Asbestos      Asbestos Containing Construction Materials      Asbestos Fibers      Asbestos In Nature Biologicals      Algae      Bacteria      Bone          Deer          Dinosaur      Capillitium      Diatoms      Fern Spores      Fern Sporangium      Foraminifera      Fungal Spores      Hyphae      Phytoliths      Pollens Chemical Microscopy      Aluminum (by Cs2SO4)      Ammonium (by H2PtCl6)      Calcium (by H2SO4)      Chlorine (AgNO3)      Electromotive Substitution      Lead (by KI)      Manganese (by NaCO3 Fusion)      Reduced Sulfur (by NaN3)      Sodium Chloride      Sulfate (by AgNO3)      Nitrate (by Nitron Sulfate)      Zinc (by K2Hg(SCN)4) Combustion      Bagase      Burnt Leaf      Candle Soot      Cenospheres      Charred Grass      Charred Wood      Forest Fire      Oil Lamp Soot Construction Debris      Grinding Debris      Insulation      Joint Compound      Plaster      Sawdust      Wallboard      Weld Debris Contamination      Air      Oil      Surfaces      Water Dispersion Staining (Dispersion Staining is an analytical technique that uses colors created by differences in dispersion)      Becke' Line Dispersion Staining      Oblique Illumination Dispersion Staining      Dark Field Dispersion Staining      Objective Stop Dispersion Staining      Phase Contrast Dispersion Staining Electrical      Breakers      Brushings      Micro-electronic      Transformers      Tap Changers Fibers      Asbestos Fibers (Legally Controlled mineral fibers)      Clothing Fibers (Fibers used to make textiles)      Feather Barbules (Individual elongated elements from feathers)      Glass Fibers (Man-made vitreous fiber)      Hair (Mammalian)      Insect Fibers (Silks)      Insect Hair (Setae, scales, bristles, etc.)      Mineral Fibers (Much higher tensile strength along long axis)      Paper Fibers (Fibers used in paper)      Plant Fibers (Elongated integral elements within the body of the plant)      Plant Hairs (Elongated elements that form on the surface of the plant)      Synthetic Fibers (Man-made polymer fibers) Home Particles      Cat Dander      Clothing Fiber      Cosmetics      Dog Dander      Ghosting      Human Skin Flakes      Humus      Mite Frass      Paper Fiber      Starch Insects, Spiders and Ticks      Carpet Beetle (Dermestidae)      Insect Debris      Lice      Spiders      Ticks Materials Sciences and Failure Analysis      Composite Materials          Carbon Fiber Composites          Glass Fiber Composites      Failure Analysis          Bolt Corrosion          Carbon Fiber Composite Failure          Load Tap Changer          Pipe Corrosion          Printed Circuitboards          Stress in Formed Glass          Stress in Polymer Weld      Medical Devices Minerals      Sand Mites      Ticks Office Particles      Cat Dander      Clothing Fiber      Dog Dander      Human Skin Flakes      Humus      HVAC      Ink      Shoe Wear      Toner Outdoor Particles      Aerosols          Marine (Sodium Chloride, Magnesium Sulfate)          Vehicle (Nitrates, Sulfates)      Industrial Emissions          Composite Fabrication Shop          Cement Manufacture          Flyash          Furniture Manufacture          Glass Manufacture          Grain Mills          Iron Fabrication          Maintenance Shop          Publishing Facility          Weld Shop      Road Debris          Cenospheres          Road Dust          Tire Wear          Vehicle Emissions Plant Parts      Hairs      Moss      Pollen School Particles      Cleaning Debris          Detergents          Grits          Vinyl Floor Surfacing      Dry-Erase Ink      Pencil Debris Sand      Sand Wood Assemblages, How Environments are Characterized      Super Assemblage: Outdoor-Natural         Forest Fire         Insects         Natural Minerals (From Soils)         Plant Parts         Pollen      Super Assemblage: Outdoor-Anthropogenic          Combustion          Industrial          Road      Super Assemblage: Facility         Home             Insect             Mites         Office             HVAC System         School             HVAC System      Super Assemblage: Activity         Home             Combustion             Construction             Human             Pet         Office             Copy Machines and Printing             Human Debris         School             Human Debris             Writting Debris
