    The Fresnel Zone Plates are usually supported by thin silicon nitride membranes which are very fragile and can be easily broken. In the image, a broken part of a silicon membrane folded with a "surviving" nanostructured pattern.

3rd May 2012 - Beamshaper Condenser Lens at the Optical Microscope

1st May 2012 - Fresnel Zone Plate at the Optical Microscope

28th April 2012 - The Nanoforest

    As many things in life, this was a result of an accident, a beautiful accident that created a forest like pattern at the submicron scale. With this picture, I won the award to best electron micrograph contest at EIPBN conference in 2010 and this allowed me to shake hands with one of the persons on Earth (or should I say "off Earth"??) who has been the furthest away ever... pretty cool!!!
