Framed Print : Atomic surface of a silicon crystal
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Atomic surface of a silicon crystal
Clearest-ever view of silicon. High resolution transmission electron micrograph (TEM) of the atomic surface of a silicon crystal. The surface is made of triangular subunits which consist of 3 layers. The 6 atoms of the top layer (adatoms) appear as black spots in each subunit. Atoms in the lower levels appear as blue lines around small structural holes (white). Each subunit is bonded to its neighbours by 9 atoms in the deepest layer; these bonded atoms (dimers) appear as blue lines between the subunits. At the subunit corners are large white circular structures. Magnification: x5, 000, 000 at 6x6cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print offers an unprecedented view of the atomic surface of a silicon crystal, revealing intricate details that were previously unseen. Taken using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), this image showcases the remarkable structure of silicon at the atomic level. The surface is composed of triangular subunits, each consisting of three layers. The top layer features six adatoms, appearing as distinct black spots within each subunit. Surrounding these adatoms are blue lines representing atoms in the lower levels, forming small structural holes that appear white. Fascinatingly, each subunit is bonded to its neighboring units by nine atoms in the deepest layer. These bonded atoms, known as dimers, can be observed as blue lines connecting the subunits. At the corners of each subunit lie large circular structures rendered in white. With a magnification power reaching an astonishing x5 million and printed on a 6x6cm medium, this photograph provides an unparalleled glimpse into the atomic world. It not only highlights the complexity and beauty inherent in silicon's atomic structure but also serves as a testament to humanity's ever-advancing understanding of particle physics and elemental chemistry. This stunning piece from Science Photo Library captures both scientific curiosity and aesthetic appreciation for nature's hidden wonders at their most fundamental level – reminding us once again how intricately interconnected our world truly is.
