Magnetic Pollen Particles

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Magnetic Pollen Particles

Scanning electron microscope images show a pollen particle (left) that has been coated with iron oxide and a replica of the same particle (right) after firing at 600 degrees Celsius to remove the organic material and crystallize the iron oxide. Arrows point to features that were preserved by the process. (Image courtesy of Brandon Goodwin and Ken Sandhage)
