A secondary mission of the ITG is to develop advanced imaging technologies with an emphasis
on projects in remote
instrument control and scientific visualization.
Calcium Hydroxide Crystals on a Grain of Sand

Wet mode image of a lime/sand slurry, dried in the ESEM specimen
chamber. On the surface of a grain of sand are thin, flat calcium hydroxide
crystals, as well as smaller hexagonal crystals, also of calcium hydroxide.

The ITG Forum will resume in Fall 2009, and announcements
for them will appear here as we draw closer to that time. Previous Forums
are available online.
The April 7, 2009 edition of the Journal of Materials Chemistry (Vol. 19, Num. 13) features cover artwork created by ITG staff Janet Sinn-Hanlon. The cover imagery accompanies the feature article by UIUC researchers Zidong Wang and Yi Lu. The article summarizes recent progress in the development of biosensors by integrating functional DNA molecules with different types of nanomaterials, including metallic nanoparticles, semiconductor nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes.
The September 22, 2008 edition of EE Times features an image created by ITG staff Chas Conway. The cover photograph accompanies an article describing a variety of recent advances in bendable, stretchable, high-performance integrated circuits by Beckman Institute faculty John Rogers, et al. The image was captured by Conway using the macro-photography system in the ITG Visualization Laboratory.
