Christmas Star Surface topology of a de-glaring foil, used for lighting solutions. The characterization was done with a confocal laser scanning microscope, and parts of the repeated pattern are recolored.
The image is the results of a collaboration between CSEM Center Muttenz & INKA, FHNW.

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) topograhy image of a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA)
Brightly colored and entangled thread-like structures are the dsDNA fragments. The background is the freshly cleaved mica onto which the DNA fragments were adsorbed. Scale bar, 180 nm.

Scanning electron microscope image of parts of a spin qubit device which was fabricated by means of electron beam lithography.
It is colored in rainbow colors, because the structures arrange themselves at a distance a little smaller than the wavelength of visible light and show different colors depending on the viewing angle.

Illustration of the periodic potential structure that forms when a single layer of carbon atoms (Graphene) is combined with two layers of Boron Nitride, one on top, one at the bottom, at different angles. Effects of such artificial crystal structures can be found in electronic devices fabricated in the Nano-electronics group at the University of Basel.
