QX3 Digital Image Gallery
Rice Krispies Cereal
Sometimes it's important to closely examine what you eat. We went to extremes and took a look at Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal under the Intel QX3 microscope. A rough surface texture is very evident on the surface of this toasted rice cereal.
These images were captured using the oblique illuminator built into the microscope head with the assistance of a Dolan-Jenner Model 180 fiber optics illuminator using a 150 watt projection lamp. The light pipes of the illuminator were placed at approximately a 45-degree angle with respect to the optical axis of the microscope and were positioned to evenly illuminate the specimen. A 2-inch square section of black paper was placed over the diffusion filter on the stage of the microscope to avoid any glare from transmitted illumination.
