The Microscopy & Microanalysis Unit provides light photomicrographs and Scanning Electron Micrographs to Australian Museum Research & Collections, the Australian Museum Public programs, education and exhibition.
The large depth of field available in the SEM makes it possible to observe three-dimensional objects – specimens using stereoscopy. Three-dimensional images allow different morphological features to be correctly interpreted and measured.
The Museum's expert for nature's tiny structures is Sue Lindsay. She is manager of the Microscopy & Microanalysis Unit, and operates the SEM.
Our website provides you with detailed information about our work, equipment & how it's done, and features many SEM image galleries. Visibly explore the micro wonderland!
