This is a SEM Nano Gigapan of 4 different types of sweeteners, the image is composed of 198 pictures and the sweeteners are magnified 600x. From left to right the sweeteners are Equal (dextrose, maltodextrin, and aspartame), Splenda (dextrose, maltodextrin, and sucralose), Sugar in the raw, and regular table sugar.

This is a small SEM Nano Gigapan of some volcanic glass given to us to image by Ronald Schott a Geology professor and avid gigapanner. This type of volcanic glass forms a lattice structure, and is not very dense. Hopefully Ron will talk more about it in a comment:)
This gigapan is composed of 42 images.

This is a head shot of the ant Eutetramorium mocquerysi which is found in Madagascar and is notable for having wingless queens that are indistinguishable from workers. This image is magnified 400x and is composed of 175 individual pictures.
The ant was given to us to image by Brian Fisher (http://www.calacademy.org/science/heroes/bfisher/) an entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences.
This Gigapan is part of the NanoGigaPan project. Which is working to take high resolution images of very small things.

This is an SEM Nano Gigapan of an ant holding a fly in its mandible. This image came about when we found some ants this morning in the kitchen and decided to take them into work to image. While looking for other cool things to image I also stumbled across a very small fly that was dead on the table (you might not believe me, but the house we're staying at is actually really nice, and at least appears very clean). Lacking another container for putting samples into, we dropped the fly in with the live, albeit confused ants, saying "they probably wont eat it." Seconds after touching the bottom of the container, the ant you see here snatched the fly up and proceeded to hold on to it for not only the commute into the office, but also during a stint in the freezer, a move from the container to the SEM stage, and then while in a vacuum. That is dedication.
The ant and fly are magnified 400x and this image is composed of 288 pictures taken with the SEM. The ant is of the species Aphaenogaster occidentalis. You can see optical images of it on ant web. http://www.antweb.org/description.do?rank=species&name=occidentalis&genus=aphaenogaster&project=calants

This Nano Gigapan has two matches side by side illustrating the difference (as seen under a scanning electron microscope) between a unlit strike anywhere match and one that has been burned. This image is composed of 140 pictures of matches magnified 150x. Can you tell which has been burned?
