Acorn (voxel size: 78 µm x 78 µm x 1 mm)

Well, we would like to look at an oak tree since we are at Oakland University. However, an oak tree is simply too big for our magnet...

Pickle (voxel size: 49 µm x 49 µm x 0.5 mm)

Is that beautiful?! We often eat things with nice pattern without imaging them first...

Asparagus (voxel size: 39 µm x 39 µm x 1 mm)

Compare this image with the histological section of the plant in a biology book...

Rat tail (voxel size: 20 µm x 20 µm x 0.5 mm)

Want to know why there are "holes" in the tail?

Carrot (voxel size: 39 µm x 39 µm x 1 mm)

What is the effect of microwave heating to the tissue texture?

Spider (voxel size: 45 µm x 45 µm x 0.3 mm)

Spider silk is stronger than steel, more elastic than nylon, and tougher than Kevlar!
