Yttrium oxide, AFM
Yttrium oxide molecules. Coloured atomic force micrograph (AFM) of molecules of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) on a thin film of yttrium. Yttrium compounds are used in superconductors and lasers. Atomic force microscopy is a technique used for imaging the surface of a substance at atomic resolutions. A thin probe is moved across the surface. It is spring mounted, and its movements as it follows the contours of the surface are translated into an image. Magnification unknown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of yttrium oxide molecules, as captured through atomic force microscopy (AFM). The colored AFM image reveals a crystal-like structure formed by these molecules on a thin film of yttrium. Yttrium compounds, such as yttrium oxide, find extensive applications in cutting-edge technologies like superconductors and lasers. The AFM technique employed to capture this image allows scientists to visualize the surface of substances at an incredibly high resolution - down to the atomic level. A delicate probe mounted on a spring is carefully maneuvered across the surface, tracing its contours with utmost precision. These movements are then translated into an awe-inspiring image that offers insights into the physical and chemical properties of the substance under examination. While we do not have information about the exact magnification used for this particular image, it is evident that even at an unknown scale, every peak and valley appears sharply defined. This emphasizes both the complexity and orderliness present within these molecular structures. This photograph serves as a testament to how science can uncover hidden wonders in our world. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane materials like yttrium oxide possess extraordinary potential when viewed through the lens of scientific exploration.
