From Electron Microscopy to 3D Printing: Serial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy of Spores

Publikation: Beitrag in einer FachzeitschriftArtikel

Abstract

The exhibition “Fungi – Food, Poison and Mythology” in the Museum Wiesbaden, Germany shows more than 1300 fungi models. As a special highlight macroscopic 3D reconstructions of spores are presented which have their origin in serial block-face scanning electron microscopy. This method was applied to embedded spores with diameters of some microns. Computer based 3D reconstructions, 3D printing and the production of hollow casts lead to 126 impressive objects featuring a magnification of about 20.000x.
