Various cool #SEM images I have taken during my master thesis:

These are ZnO #nanowires on a ZnO layer. The wires have a diameter 300 times smaller than a human hair.

Normally they should be attached to the silicon substrate, but a scratch caused this cool looking damage to the sample.

ZnO nanowires have cool properties, for example each wire can work as its own tiny laser under the right conditions.
