Microscopic Snowflakes

Researchers Use a Lt-Sem to Zoom in on Frosty Precipitation

These microscopic snowflakes show just how unique they are. Although we already knew that no two are alike, zooming in at this level gives us a whole new perspective.

These microscopic snowflakes shots were taken by researchers at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Maryland. They used a Low Temperature Scanning Electron Microscope (LT-SEM) to achieve these spectacular shots. No longer do they look like typical snowflakes. Instead, they are like some sort of alien structures.
