        The GIF was created by James Tyrwhitt-Drake back in 2012, when he captured the images at the University of Victoria’s Advanced Microscopy Facility and posted the final product to his Tumblog, Infinity Imagined.

          Oh ok. You just randomly found that specific one? As a petapixel browser, would you happen to know where to find more of the same? I think I need a serious electron microscope zoom in fix after this.

            They’re not gifs, but here’s a bunch of interesting SEM images from one of the manufacturers of these microscopes.

            Searched only for “electron microscope zoom”, it was like the 10th result. It seems like there isn’t a lot of gif like this, as you have to create a lot of images one by one.

                I guess the problem is not the repetitive task, but electron microscopes are expensive to use, and while you create your gifs others can’t use it for actual research. They need vacuum and high voltage to work, which cost money.

                I found that to create nice and and clean noise free image you need minutes to hours of exposure time, so it’s possible that gif took hours to take. Someone had to pay for the electricity bill during that, I guess you don’t want to pay for that frequently.

                Please correct me if you are someone with actual experience with electron microscopes. It’s hard to find info on this topic.

      I guarantee you, he only did it because he thought it was a bad business deal.

      All of these “people” would literally make machines to rape children if they believed it would make them more money.

      We need to stop giving them power.

      That will never happen. For these people “being poor” still means having a shit ton of cash.
      All muskyboy’s companies could collapse today and he’d still have millions and millions in a bank somewhere.

      The only way this person, and billionaires like him, will feel any consequences is if they are dragged to a fucking guillotine and served justice medieval style.

      When the country he’s helping hold hostage, move as a unit to do something about these people.

      It’s actually possible to go far enough with that, until we have a situation where there’d be nowhere for them to run no matter what country they ran to. The problem is, the only country that could start this process won’t do what they need to.

      This, like pretty much every other major issue, is in the hands of US citizens.
